At the Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission, our first priority is to relieve poverty in our area by providing free meals and fellowship to those residents that may be economically disadvantaged. On June 29, 2024, we hosted our 14th annual golf tournament in the hopes of raising enough money to accomplish this goal.
Local residents and businesses did not disappoint, and the golf tournament brought in a record-breaking amount of donations for the Mission. We raised approximately $15,000, and of that, 100 per cent will go directly to costs associated with running the Mission and feeding our residents since the Mission has no paid staff.
We struggled at the beginning of our campaign to get a presenting sponsor but once we put out a public plea, Centerline quickly answered the call then Integrity followed as an added bonus. We had media sponsors - River Town Times, CKRT, and Families First - step up to help us with advertising and printing costs and many businesses provided raffle prizes, as well as hole and foursome sponsorships. To all of you, we want you to know that we appreciate you, we thank you, we couldn’t do it without you!
Even though we were rained out again this year, we were able to have the dinner and raffle portion of the event and really enjoyed the time of fellowship and the delicious meal put on by Coachwood Golf Club.
On behalf of the president, board of directors and volunteers of Amherstburg Food and Fellowship Mission, we thank all those who attended, volunteered and sponsored the golf tournament for their unwavering support and we hope the farmers benefited from the much-needed rain!
