‘LIL RHODY-BIG YUM!
Lions Clubs of Rhode Island host an Online Auction for Hope’s Harvest
Dear Friend,
We’d like your help getting the word out on ‘LIL RHODY—BIG YUM, a Food-Centric online auction to raise funds toward the purchase of a refrigerated delivery van for Hope’s Harvest (a program of Farm Fresh Rhode Island).
Local businesses have been generous. Our focus is to generate as many bidders as we can, however we can add additional items after the auction starts if there are interested donors!
Lil RHODY—BIG YUM runs through September 24.
Auction items can be found at:
