Shop Wellesley First charity auction goes online
The Wellesley Chamber of Commerce will be holding its annual Shop Wellesley First charity auction online for the first time this year.
“The money is being raised for the chamber’s programs for small business, such as advocacy about local issues that impact business, and promotion of local small business to the community,” says Chamber President Maura O’Brien. “Our businesses return value to the community by providing exceptional local merchandise and personalized service. Like all chambers, we charge members annual membership fees, but need to fundraise as well.”
Auction items can be donated through Nov. 29 and bidding runs from Dec. 4-14.
