A message from the NC United Way campaign committee:
Support for the NC Cares United Way workplace campaign continues to roll in with $29,917 raised to date, thanks to a very generous NC community. With just over a month to go until the close of this year’s campaign, there are still a number of ways to show your support, including purchasing student-grown poinsettias this holiday season.
Annual poinsettia sale
NC’s Teaching Greenhouse is off and running with its annual poinsettia sale. Early poinsettia varieties are available now with more selection being added this week. Currently, six-inch poinsettias are available for $8 each, while six-inch festive poinsettias will be available soon for $15 each. For every poinsettia sale, $1.00 will be donated to NC’s United Way workplace campaign.
Poinsettias can be purchased online any time through the Teaching Greenhouse’s online store at store.ncteachinggreenhouse.ca and picked up curbside, or purchased in-store on the following dates:
Saturday, November 28, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunday, November 29, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday, December 5, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
