Hundreds of local residents came out to the Girl Guides annual Holly Tea holiday celebration at South Burnaby United Church on Saturday.
Local Girl Guides, aged five to 18, and adult volunteers organized the fundraiser, which helps cover the costs of an annual camping trip to the Sunshine Coast.
The Holly Tea featured a silent auction, a bake sale, thrift shopping, games, kids’ craft stations and refreshments. The Guides collected donations for the food bank as well. The event typically raises a few thousand dollars, but this year was their most successful year yet, raising more than $4,000.
