Where:

Acadia Environmental, 48 Free Street, Portland

This Wednesday, The Gelato Fiasco will partner with The Opportunity Alliance, a Portland-based non-profit, to help people heat their homes. In response to reductions to LIHEAP funding and rising heating costs, the local business will hold an all-day fundraiser to benefit the Opportunity Alliance’s Keep ME Warm fund, which provides emergency heating assistance. If a customer brings the Scooping for Community for Heating Assistance flyer in to the store on Wednesday, 100% of the pre-tax purchase will go to the fund (http://www.gelatofiasco.com/download/gelato-fiasco-keep-me-warm.pdf). This event is the latest in a series of fundraisers held during the past few months with proceeds going to Portland-area schools and non-profits.

JOIN US AT THE OCEANVIEW COMMUNITY ROOM ON BLUEBERRY LANE TO HEAR THE TOWN LYNE BELL RINGERS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BRIAN WILSON PLAY THE BELLS OF CHRISTMAS.

ALL ARE WELCOME TO ENJOY THIS FESTIVE EVENT.
