Ice Cream Social: Sweet Scoops Fun-day Benefiting Williamstown Youth Center!
A Sweet Success Thanks to Our Community
We’re delighted to share the results of our recent Ice Cream Social in support of the Williamstown Youth Center. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to deliver a check for over $600 to the Youth Center last week.
This event was more than just a fundraiser, it marked the beginning of a new collaboration. We’ve launched a scarecrow-making activity with the Youth Center, and these imaginative creations will be on display at the co-op during the upcoming Wild Smoke 2025 celebration.
