Sweet senior center fundraiser

Posted by Paula Scott on November 9, 2021 - 6:18am

On Monday mornings in November, the kitchen at the non-profit Bluffton Senior Citizens Center, 132 N Main St., is turned into a candy factory. Dozens of volunteers are enlisted to make hundreds of pounds of peanut brittle, to stock the center’s largest single fundraiser. It’s hot, hard work, but the conversation and energy level are lively.

Peanut brittle

Posted by Paula Scott on October 25, 2021 - 6:58am

By Tonya Meyer, Bluffton Senior Center

Peanut Brittle making will start Monday, November 1 at 8 a.m. and continue every Monday thru November 22. We need at least 30 volunteers to make the candy and some of our volunteers from two years ago are no longer able to help.

We are looking for NEW PEOPLE to come and help. Please let Tonya or Roger Edwards know if you are able to help even if only for one week. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We missed it last year. We hope to make up for it this year.
