The Holiday Bazaar 2022 is a Wrap
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Holiday Bazaar. This was our first in-person Bazaar since 2019 and we were amazed by the turnout. Thank you all for spreading the word about the event, attending the event, and sending others to shop in your stead if you weren’t able to make it. There were even many folks who completed their shopping over FaceTime! We are so thankful for you, our Mitrata friends, and your dedication to supporting our mission. With 225+ attendees, we were able to raise over $24,000!
