(Carroll) New Hope invites the community to its biennial Quilt Auction on Saturday, April 11 at the Carrollton Centre in Carroll. This cherished tradition stitches together generosity, craftsmanship, and community impact. The 16th Biennial Charity Quilt Auction offers multiple ways to participate, making it easier than ever for supporters to get involved, whether in person or from home. The New Hope Charity Quilt Auction is not a typical fundraiser. Attendees and bidders go home with beautiful quilts and unique items, knowing they have made a positive impact on the individuals who call New Hope home. We are also offering a selection of delectable desserts to be auctioned and served to guests who attend the dinner.
