Linder's Fundraising Weekend for Bundles of Love
Thanks to Linder's for raising over $300 for Bundles Of Love!!!
Linder's is holding a fundraising weekend for Bundles of Love May 16 to 19 at the Flower Marts and the Main Garden Center. All you have to do is buy whatever plants you need and when you check out, tell the cashier that you are supporting Bundles of Love and they will make a donation to Bundles of Love equal to 15% of your purchase!
If you can't get to Linder's that weekend, and you shop on the weekend of May 23rd to 26th, tell the cashier that you are supporting Everyday Miracles (one of our partner agencies) and they will get the donation.
This is an easy way for us to raise the money we need to purchase supplies and pay the rent, so please pass this on to all your gardening friends.
