Bob Parks Raises $5k for Graceworks
Bob Parks Realty’s Brentwood office had a silent auction that raised $5,000 to benefit Graceworks Ministries in Williamson County.
Graceworks provides food, clothing, monetary help and more to those in need.
The charity helps people who find themselves in the unexpected circumstances such as the sudden death of a spouse, a catastrophic illness or a lingering disability.
In addition, Graceworks helps welfare recipients break the cycle of dependency on government assistance.
For the fundraiser, the Bob Parks Realty agents and staff prepared a large buffet that offered smoked salmon, cocktail shrimp, salads, various spreads and dips, finger sandwiches, cheeses, fruit, cookies, cakes and candies.
A huge silent auction included framed artwork, crystal candlesticks, a compact disc player, a turkey fryer and other types of merchandise.
All of the items were donated by Bob Parks Realty and staff.
