Kick Off the Season of Giving with Our Community Raffle
The inaugural White Salmon Village Lights celebration is almost underway, and with it comes one of the most meaningful traditions of the season: the Season of Giving Raffle, launching this week. Created by Sarah Morton-Erasmus, co-owner of Henni’s, Arrowleaf, and Pizza Leona, this community raffle was designed with one purpose in mind—supporting local families through the winter months. As Sarah shares, “Our goal is to raise $3,000 for our local food bank.”
All proceeds from the raffle will go directly to the WAGAP Food Bank, helping ensure that households across the Gorge have access to nutritious food during the holiday season and beyond. Every raffle ticket—just $5 each—makes an immediate impact on families in need.
Give generously, and you might just win big.
Raffle winners will be announced on December 20, with an incredible lineup of donated prizes from local businesses and artists, including:
• $500 Henni’s Kitchen & Bar gift card
• Customized zodiac necklace by M.E. Jewelry Co.
• Original artwork by Ryann Kivel
• Jewelry by Rebecca Bashara
• Jewelry by Jen Trude
• Gift certificates from Everybody’s Brewing, Tarwater Tavern, Le Doubblé Troubblé Wine Co. Wet Planet, and Marcel
• And more prizes are being added throughout the season!
