Holy smokes! July is here and that means a new Comments for a Cause recipient and find out how much we are donating to our recent cause. Let’s get to it!
,
This past month I selected our fabulous Transylvania Farmers Market as the Comments for a Cause recipient and I am so happy to report that we will be making a $50 donation due to your comments here on the blog. It was kind of a messed up month but I know that every little bit helps so a small donation will be appreciated as well. The market is amazing and they reach a lot of locals and tourists as well with fresh produce, arts and crafts, plants, meat and cheeses, soaps, sauces and dips and more. It really is fun to go every week to see what new things are popping up.

This month I have chosen Pisgah Legal Services as our Comments for a Cause recipient. There are so many ways that they help folks in Western North Carolina and I love that they are there to offer their services to those who need them most. I found a lot of great information on their website and will share below.
