The Truffles fundraiser came about through Wakefield woman Anne Bolton desiring to 'do something that matters'.

Anne read some articles on the work done by Missions Without Borders and decided that  this was the organisation to support.  Moldova was chosen as it was the poorest country in

Eastern Europe and in particular the orphans in Moldova.

Anne was determined that this fundraiser would not take money away from other organisations such as those offering child sponsorship.

Her home group discussed various ideas for possible fundraisers, and they chose to make and sell truffles.The first fundraiser was held in 2004 and made a $4000 profit. This amount blew the team away. Since then the fundraiser has been held every year, generously supported by all our sponsors. Brightwater Community Anglican Church generously host the actual truffle-making event at their church hall in Brightwater. Various organisations from around the region, including churches, schools, businesses,  and community groups enthusiastically get behind the fundraiser each year when it comes around.

Since it's inception 'Truffles' has raised over $50000 for orphans and underprivileged children in Moldova. What started out as a small fundraiser is blossoming into something far bigger as each year goes by.

Be a part of it!
