Volunteers at the North Frontenac Food Bank held a first-time community garage sale fundraiser on May 30 in Sharbot Lake. The sale took place in the parking lot of the Sharbot Lake Country Inn and included a wide variety of items donated by the volunteers and members of the community: furniture, clothes, sporting goods, books, home, kitchen and garden wares and more.

Kim Cucoch, a volunteer with the NF Food Bank, said that the volunteers wanted to try a different kind of fundraiser this spring and by the end the day, just over $1,000 was raised. Those who missed the fundraiser and would still like to make a cash donation to the NF Food Bank can do so by calling 613-532-8855 or by mailing a cheque to The North Frontenac Food Bank, P.O. Box 151, Sharbot Lake, K0H 2P0.
