Philanthropic Professional Women’s Group Holds Fundraiser

Sacramento, CA — Members of Soroptimist International of Sacramento (SIS) are always on the look-out for ways to help raise money for agencies that provide services to “at-risk” children and women in the Sacramento region.

Once again SIS will be holding a See’s Candy store in Loehmann’s Plaza to raise money for Soroptimist charitable projects. Some of the projects supported by the See’s Candy profits are programs to help stop human trafficking provided by Sacramento’s My Sister’s House — a 24-hour help for women and children impacted by domestic violence in the Central Valley's Asian and Pacific Islander community — and assistance to foster youth through the Independent Living Program at Sacramento County.

This year SIS will team up with members of Soroptimist International of Sacramento South to operate the temporary See’s Candy Store, located at 2527 Fair Oaks Blvd. in Loehmann’s Plaza (the corner of Fair Oaks Blvd. and Fulton Ave.) The store is located between the European WaxCenter and the Briar Patch. Everyone is welcome to come and do their holiday candy shopping, while helping out some very worthwhile Soroptimist projects. The store is open December 1-24 from 10:00 am and 6:00 pm, and is staffed entirely by volunteer Soroptimist members.
