Purchase Nuts and Butter Braids and Help Fund Soroptimist Service


It’s that time again. Yes, the annual nut, candy and butter braid sale of Soroptimist International of Fort Collins is in full swing. Our fall fundraiser is very important to our Club’s donations to worthy local organizations.  The money we raised in past years helped women and girls through domestic violence prevention and recovery initiatives including Crossroads, SAVA (Sexual Assault Victim’s Advocacy) and Homeless Gear; education and career advancement initiatives including Project Self-Sufficiency; and quality of life projects including Hearts and Horses, Journey Conference for Young Girls, PVH Navigator Program, and Women’s Resource Center (health care assistance for low-income women).  We also support many very impressive global service projects through our international affiliation, such as Children of Peace (Vietnamese orphanages), Help Uganda (tuition), Project SIerra (helping women in Sierra Leone) and Soroptimist International of the Americas Disaster Relief Fund.

We offer local awards, including Women’s Opportunity Awards (offering funds to women heads of households), Ruby award (formerly Making a Difference for Women), Violet Richardson Award (for teen girls engaged in volunteer activities), and our new Living Her Dream Award.
 
We hope you will purchase from us what you might have bought from grocery or specialty stores.  Our prices are competitive and the products very fresh.  We use them for client appreciation gifts, for holiday parties and baking.
We also sell butter braids, which is a festive loaf-style pastry that comes frozen. A real bargain at just $12 each, they can be prepared easily and come in six flavors: Sticky Pecan (new), Cherry, Apple, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Cinnamon, Cream Cheese, and Almond Cream.
 
Thanks for helping us support women and girls in our community. Contact any member, or email sifortcollins@hotmail.com to order.

Butter Braids will be delivered before Thanksgiving!
