Continuing to pay it forward, S&S Art Supply on Main Street is hosting its 3rd annual fundraiser this coming Sat.urday, July 13th, benefiting Palmetto Place Children's Shelter. Free and open to the public, there will be a silent auction of over 100 works of local art and other items from local businesses to bid on, all starting at just $25!
This is a family friendly event, so bring the kids. Preach Jacobs will be DJ'ing, plus The Plowboys will be playing live outside. With an open bar and catered hors d'oeuvres provided courtesy of The Whig and Rosso, the motto for the day is Eat, Drink, Bid!
Since 1977, Palmetto Place has been a safe haven for children of all ages in need of a place to call home. Whether the child was abandoned, abused, or neglected, Palmetto Place has been there for them. The mission of Palmetto Place Children’s Shelter is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for these abused and neglected children, offering them a broad range of services that encourage and promote healing through positive and healthy choices. The shelter is open 24 hours each day of the year and provides medical and mental health care, crisis adjustment/transitional counseling, after-school tutoring and recreational and social activities in addition to food, clothing and shelter.
