We are raffling off TWO COPIES of Taylor Swift's The Lakes 7-inch record. Tickets are $5. All proceeds go to The Bench, a local nonprofit that helps people in need in Downtown Guelph.
Tickets go on sale Saturday at Royal Cat Records and the two winners will be announced a week later on May 7.
ABOUT THE BENCH:
A Guelph resident, Ed Pickersgill, hosts the grassroots initiative, “The Bench”; 365 days of the year, rain or shine.
Like clockwork, from 1:45PM to 3:00PM, Pickersgill sets up complimentary supplies for people in need Downtown Guelph.
At 1:45 p.m. every day, seven days a week, since October 2017, Pickersgill has arrived at The Bench, a non-descript city bench at the top end of Wyndham Street and set out bins filled with food, water, hygiene products and other items to give away to the poor and homeless people in the community. At 3 p.m. he packs everything up and goes home.
The Bench is by word of mouth and whoever attends is welcomed to grab what they need; no questions asked. All supplies are donated by citizens within our community.
Items that are “grab and go” include; personal hygiene products, clothing basics, non- perishable food items, fresh fruit (easy to eat oranges, apples and clementine), freshly made lunch items (sandwiches donated by citizens and local restaurants), water bottles and loads of granola bars.
