If you don’t want to sell anything yourself, you can still help! Good quality new or used goods may be donated to the Quimper Grange to sell as a fundraiser. We will price the items to sell. Anything not sold will be donated to Habitat for Humanity or to Goodwill, and would not be returned.
We will also be having desserts for sale - cakes, pies and cookies. Cakes & pies and any other special dessert will be sold in a silent auction format. If you can make desserts for this please have them wrapped either individually or by the dozen, and on a plate that you don’t need back. Let us know one week in advance for our planning.

Food Bank Garden News
Quimper Grange FB Garden has donated produce and vegetable starts to the far reaches of our county, to include the Eaglemount and Coyle ‘pop up’ food banks. Over 100 families are served in Eaglemount, and 80 in the Coyle area. This helps to provide fresh, organically grown produce to those who can’t make it to their local food banks.
Despite this long, cool spring, you can direct sow beans and peas now. We have just sown spinach, beets, chard, carrots, pole beans and a number of greens. Come join the grow team on Tues or Fri, 1:00-3:00 to have fun, support your community, and share growing secrets. Contact FoodBankGrowers@gmail.com to volunteer in this, or any of the other of our 12 Food Bank Gardens.
