The 100 Mile House and District branch of the SPCA is getting ready for National Cupcake Day on Feb. 29 and all proceeds going to help animals in need.
“Last year, our branch raised $1,600 from the sale of cupcakes,” says branch supervisor Randi Dewhirst.
“We’re hoping to get $2,000 this year, which would put us near the top for all the branches in the province.”
The cupcakes are made and sold by volunteers.
“Last year, I drove around town and went door to door with cupcakes through the business area. We’ll, once again, have tables set up outside Pharmasave on Feb. 29, where the cupcakes will be for sale from 10 a.m. until they sell out, usually around 3 p.m.”
Dewhirst says more volunteers – to bake and sell the cupcakes – would be welcome. Anyone who’d like to volunteer can call the 100 Mile SPCA branch at 250-395-5303 and leave a message; someone will call back as soon as possible.
“All donations – of cupcakes and funds – are gratefully accepted.”
