Staff members at Essex Home Hardware decided to utilize what is likely the last of the warmer weather to squeeze in another fundraising outdoor barbeque for a local not-for-profit.
With hot dogs on the grill, a raffle prize up for grabs, and 50/50 tickets available, staff at Essex Home Hardware raised funds for Lola’s Round Table last Thursday afternoon.
Lola’s Roundtable is a local respite service, offering a group setting for adults living with a disability.
Lennard Bickford, Manager at Essex Home Hardware, said he was aware of the work Lola’s was providing and thought it would be great to support its efforts.
Turnout at last week’s fundraiser was steady, he noted. Those who came out to support the fundraiser were also able to meet with those who benefit from the services provided through Lola’s Round Table.
The total will be calculated and forwarded to Lola’s Roundtable in the near future.
