Holiday Bazaar a hit with customers

Posted by Jennifer Houston on Jan 2, 2018 3:29:40 PM

IMG_1556-main.pngThe Goodwill Day Services programs held their annual Holiday Bazaar on Friday, November 17th, at the Goodwill Center for Work and Training – Southwest Campus (GSC). All six Goodwill day programs worked for months to create the unique collection of art, food, home décor, and bath and body items that were for sale.

2017 December Collage.pngIn the end, their hard work paid off.  An estimated 300 customers purchased $1,991 in handmade gifts. This is the second year that the bazaar has been held at GSC and it has been the best attended year yet.  The funds made at the event will go directly back to the day programs for supplies, entertainment, and special events – that’s money well spent!

Participants and staff are already planning for an even larger assortment of offerings at next year’s Holiday Bazaar. We hope to see you there!
