We know it’s only August and you probably don’t want to start thinking about the holidays yet, but we’re so excited about what’s coming up that we wanted to share it with you!

This November we are launching Nellie’s 2011 Holiday Auction.  The auction will take place completely online at Nellie’s Marketplace, a new website currently in development.  We will be offereing a wide-range of donated good and services incluing vacations, spa packages, dinners, and gift certificates that can be purchased as gifts for loved-ones and friends.

So far we’re proud to announce that we’ve recevied support from many businesses in our community including Brooks Brothers, Lit Espresso Bar, Desmond & Beatrice Cupcakes, Hardware Interiors, and more!

We anticipate to raise $5000 from this holiday auction that will go directly to fund our programs and services for the hundreds of women who come to Nellie’s for shelter and support every year.
