Proceeds Go To The Dara Farm Sanctuary

Eve & Kerly from Vegan Very Much will be holding a fundraiser sale at the Hidden Gemm Variety on Saturday as part of the Golden Triangle Garage Sale. They are located at 1223 Broadview Avenue at Torrens Avenue. Here is their story...



Hello neighbours! We are a little vegan hobby business called Vegan Very
Much with open hearts to support our community through fundraiser bake
sales. In order to make more money so we can make a more sizeable
donation to our favourite charity Dara Farm Sanctuary, we decided to
continue the sales and opened an online fundraising store at
https://veganverymuch.com/fundraiser/?post_type=product Please note,
that the items at the shop have set prices, but you are more than
welcome to add a little extra. Remember, it all goes to charity and your
contribution helps to feed and heal the many happy animals who are
blessed to live at Dara sanctuary.

On this Saturday, June 4th, 2021 from 8 AM TO 2 PM, we will participate
in The Golden Triangle Garage Sale. It is our second community
fundraiser! We had one during the snowiest day in 2021 - the 18th of
December. The streets were pretty empty as we set up, our merchandise
packed away to prevent damage. That week we received a donation from a
lovely vegan family via NextDoor. The owner of the corner store Hidden
Gemm came out to give us donations that a kind customer had left for our
fundraiser sale. After freezing a little in the snow, several others who
saw our posters came to support us by buying something or simply
donating.

We hope it will be much better this time. Donations are welcome and you
can drop them off at the Hidden Gemm variety.
We are offering in addition to what you can see on the website, lots and
lots more: earrings, household items, make-up, personal hygiene
products, etc. and of course some of our own non-baked food items.

Our Golden Triangle Garage Sale community fundraiser’s proceeds will go
to Dara Farms Animal Sanctuary. As ethical vegans, we support the
liberation of animals. We are inspired by the work that Dara Farms does
right in our province (Ontario). We will add 100% of the proceeds to the
previous funds from the yard sale and our Vegan Very Much Fundraiser
bakesale generated in the summer of 2021 when we launched our website!

Visit the fundraiser shop and order what you need! Or order something
delicious from the Vegan Very Much Shop: www.veganverymuch.com/shop/shop
and be part of something bigger even when you’re done munching. Choose
an item from our baked goods shop marked as a fundraiser item and 50% of
the proceed goes to support our favourite animal sanctuary.

By the way, we will have the banana chips on sale at a great price,
lemonade and wonderful date bites will be available as well.

Eat well, do good.

Only 2 Days To Garage Sale And The Weather Looks Awesome!!!

Check out the weather forecast for Saturday! It looks like the weather will be ideal! That is all very exciting!



SAFETY FIRST - Just a little reminder to be safe during your garage sale and take care of yourselves and your helpers. Here are a few guidelines given to me by the local police station;

  1. Lock all doors as people get distracted easily
  2. Purse and valuables should not be in plain view.
  3. Carry a fanny pack or something to keep your money in
  4. Put excess cash in the house
  5. Lots of helpers
  6. Don't accept large bills due to counterfeiting
  7. Higher priced items closer to the house, not at the edge of the sidewalk
  8. Make eye contact with your shoppers. They will be less likely to steal
  9. Keep the buyer's bill out until you make change and then put the bill away
  10. Do not allow strangers in the house
One more thing...check out our interactive Google map for the people who registered their sale. It is very cool.
