Seeds of Faith Hosts “Fashions By the Sea”

RYE—

Seeds of Faith will host a Fashion Show and Silent Auction Fundraiser on Saturday, March 24, from 1-3pm, at the beautiful Wentworth Country Club in Rye. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the New Beginnings Transitional Housing Training Program (NBTTP). Tickets are $40, and there are a limited number of seats available.

Through the experience of the last ten years, Seeds of Faith volunteers having witnessed mothers without food for their children, families living in cars, fathers degraded and the greatest tragedy of all, children who fall prey to the cycle of generational homelessness. Therefore, the goal for Seeds of Faith in 2012 is a 365-day "New Beginnings Transitional Training Program" (NBTTP) for homeless families and single woman—a local effort to help break the cycle of generational homelessness.

Their newest project, New Beginnings Thrift Boutique, is located on 82 High Street in Somersworth. Operated and supported by over 20 wonderful volunteers, the boutique offers an array of new and gently used clothes, furniture, jewelry, antiques, children’s clothes and much more, all donated by the community. This allotment allows 100 percent of its profit to go toward critical funding for their NBTTP.

If you would like to partner with them by participating in the Fashions by the Sea, here are just a few items to look forward to: Burberry, Dana Buchman, Bisou Bisou, Gap and Facial rejuvenation services—an $800 dollar value—donated by Dr. Timothy M. Osborn MD, DDS, as well as a Dental Whitening—a $700 dollar value—donated by John Chiou DMD, MMSC, and much more.

Because of the limited seating, get your tickets today. Call 207-475-2155, or directly from their website, www.seedsoffaithministries.org, by clicking the "donate here" icon.

“If one could look into the eyes of these hungry children, see the pain on a mother’s face and feel the brokenness of a father’s heart, one would profoundly realize and understand the absolute necessity in breaking the cycle of generational homelessness,” explains Seeds of Faith member Theresa Tozier.
