5 Cape Locals Gather to Boost Donations for Goshen Farm
Five local residents and business owners contribute $100 to the Goshen Farm society.
The results of a December fundraiser for the Goshen Farm Preservation Society more than quadrupled, thanks to matching donations and grants.
The $400 proceeds from the sales of holiday swags and wreaths created and sold by Cape St. Claire resident Audrey Lengbeyer were more than doubled when several local businesses agreed to match what she originally raised.
Five local Cape St. Claire businesses donated $100 each, bringing the amount to $900. A state grant will double that amount to $1,800.
