Announcing the
2013 ADOPT A FAMILY
Auction
Saturday March 2, 2013 at 3:00pm at the Pavilion
We are looking for donations from the heart such as dinners, services, homemade items (pies, jams etc, etc.) and other personal services that we can auction to support our Adopt a Family 2013 program.
At about 9.2 percent the Rio Grande Valley has the highest unemployment rate in Texas. Unemployment is a trickle down event and those lowest on the socio-economic ladder bear the brunt of this. While the United States exports millions of tons of food stuff yearly to far off countries, we here at SPR are committed to do our part by assisting local families. We are fortunate that we have the fantastic support of the residents of SPR.
We are given names of families from the local school counselor. The families we have supported in the past have had great needs. We provide toys for the children, school clothes, after school clothes and other necessities. We also provide fresh provisions and canned goods so that the entire family can have a Christmas to remember.
All of this takes, in addition to a lot of work by the many SPRer’s who help, money in order to purchase goods for the Christmas delivery.
So on Saturday March 2, 2013 at 3:00pm at the Pavilion we will hold an auction.
We are looking for items to auction and appreciate your support.
Any donation of dinners or other services will be valid until March 31, 2014.
Please contact: Mary or John at Lot #5.
