Furniture Auction Raises $10,000-Plus for Angels of Grace
Share
Angels of Grace Foster Family Agency received $10,687 Tuesday night from the Granville Furniture Auction at the home builder’s Belterra community in Fresno.
A crowd of about 250, including 89 registered bidders, braved the 100-plus degree temperatures to pick up bargains and benefit the Fresno nonprofit.
Fresno auctioneer Dan Cobb oversaw the bidding on furniture and accessories from Belterra’s model homes.
Every penny from the auction was donated to Angels of Grace.
