This past year Rangeley Congregational Church Women’s Fellowship group was able to participate in one summer festival, one pop-up craft fair and our annual Holly Fair in Rangeley, where handmade crafts, jams, and baked goods were sold. All the proceeds of these fairs are donated to charity. We were fortunate to be able to distribute donations to 26 wonderful organizations, with a large percentage of these donations benefitting people in the Rangeley community and region. On Sunday, Dec. 18th the women of the Rangeley Congregational church and our Women’s Fellowship community met to distribute $10,000 to charity.
Following is a partial list of organizations which will receive funds from our proceeds: Rangeley Health Ride, Rangeley Meal Site, WRGY, The Giving Tree, Rangeley Library, Grandmother’s Purse, Rangeley Health & Wellness HELP/HARC & Rangeley Ski Scholarship Fund, Rangeley Fire Department Children’s Christmas Party, Arbor House, Safe Voices of Farmington, The Center for Grieving Children, Western Maine Cancer Resource Center, Androscoggin Home + Healthcare, Farmington Animal Rescue, and other national & international charities.
The Rangeley Congregational Church Women’s Fellowship’s participation in summer festivals and Holly Fair have generated proceeds which have benefitted many organizations for the past 28 years. 2023 marks our 28th Annual Holly Fair which will be held on November 18th at the Rangeley Congregational Church Barn from 10 am to 2 pm. Your purchases at the 2023 Rangeley Summer Festivals, and Holly Fair will help us continue to help others.
With heartfelt gratitude, the Women’s Fellowship organization would like to thank the Rangeley community and the summer visitors who supported our efforts this past year. We are looking forward to 2023 and being able to continue this very important mission.
