A Langley furniture company is hosting an Art Show & Sale for a cause on  Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Admission is by donation to Spring Board Support Network for single parents.

Artists who would like to display up to five pieces of art for sale at the event, hosted by Buy Rite Furnishings, at 20560 Langley Bypass, will be charged a $10 fee. Proceeds from the artists’ admission fees will also go to Spring Board support network for single parents.

The goal of Spring Board is to provide education, (cooking, cleaning, budgeting, resume writing and parenting classes) food, clothing, diapers, and  basic supplies, to welcome each new baby and to reach out in friendship and offer practical help, to support single parents in the community.

The group needs donations of food, clothing, (maternity and newborn) strollers, high chairs, playpens, safe cribs, baby blankets and non-expired car seats.

Any excess household items and furniture donations received will be sold to raise money for housing expenses and baby supplies.

The show and sale runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Artists who are interested in participating or would like more information are invited to contact Jim Romeyn at 604-763-8867.
