The third annual Grateful Goods Arts and Crafts Sale will take place at Bethania Lutheran Church in Solvang on Saturday, Nov. 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Participating vendors at the upcoming holiday shopping-centric fundraiser will include fused-glass artists, ceramicists, jewelry crafters, photographers, and other artisans.
Canned and nonperishable food donations will be accepted from guests of the sale as a suggested admission fee. These donations and some proceeds of the sale will support Bethania Lutheran Church’s volunteer-run weekly food distribution program on Tuesdays. The program helps more than 250 households each week.
“I really like doing this show because I know it helps local people who need food,” sale participant Heather Fletcher said in press materials, “and I get to meet so many nice shoppers.”
The event will also include baked goods and other food items for sale, as well as raffles and a silent auction, which will include several arts and crafts packages—along with wine and other auction items—donated directly by the fundraiser’s participating artisans to support the food distribution program.
