Habitat for Humanity Northumberland’s Cobourg ReStore was turned into a spring courtyard for the annual Sunday Dinner, raising over $23,000 for Habitat Northumberland’s build projects.
120 guests enjoyed cocktails and dinner catered by Cobourg’s Prep Food Co. and the Happy Bee Company.
“The last couple of years I attended the dinner as a guest”, explained Cathy Borowec, the CEO of Habitat Northumberland, “this year I had the pleasure of seeing the work that goes on behind the scenes and what makes this dinner so magical. It’s truly a team effort to brings this event all together. Everyone in attendance, especially our volunteers and sponsors were able to connect through a delicious meal, amid the furniture and all the donated goods that are normally on display for sale in our ReStore.”
