Cumberland. “I found some sweet shoes for my nephew and a bunch of t-shirts for $5. I really like the idea of having moms selling stu" for a reasonable price to other moms. People should do that more often, since we are all on a tight budget this time of the year!” The sale was also an opportunity to help the community and the less fortunate. To enter, visitors had to make a food donation or pay $0.50, which would help the local food bank. “It’s a place of exchange for families who are looking for clothes and toys or a special gift for Christmas,” said Judith Sauvé-Roy. “All the pro!ts from the entry fee will be given to the Vankleek Hill food bank. I was surprised how fast people answered the invitation and how the businesses were wil- ling to come. It’s great and I’m thinking of doing another one downstairs when there’s no ice. We could have a lot more to o"er and accommodate more people.” “It was like a #ea market for moms with some goodies on the side, like scented can- dles,” said Jenny Delson, of Kanata. It’s good for the community spirit and I got some ideas for Christmas.”
