The Sequim Lavender Growers Association which solely produces and manages its own yearly Sequim Lavender Festival, also wants to show support of fellow nonprofits organizations in the community during other times of the year.

This holiday season the SLGA picked two organizations for the 12th Annual Holiday Bazaar Raffle. They were the Toys for Tots program as well as the Sequim Food Bank.

Tickets could be purchased for $1. You also could bring a food item or toy for a raffle ticket. Eight baskets filled with products from SLGA members, a doll and a fully decorated tree were raffled off on Saturday, Nov. 29. SLGA was able to give each organization a check for $500 as well as toys and food collected during the two-day event.

Eric Minor representing the Marines also surprised SLGA with a beautiful plaque thanking members for SLGA’s support over the years.
