Delco Skilled Care Facility Holding Fundraiser Fair June 7

MEDIA, PA – Fair Acres, Delaware County's skilled care facility, is gearing up for its annual fundraising fair that will be held in early June and you can make the event a success in a few ways.

The annual June Fair is set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, June 7 at the Fair Acres campus, 340 Middletown Road, Media.

Along with food, fun and raffles, the Fair Acres Office of Volunteer Services will hold an Attic Treasures sale to raise funds to support resident activities.

The facility is asking for donations to be sold at the Attic Treasures sale.

Items such as books, jewelry, knick-knacks, kitchen items, toys, and sporting equipment are accepted. All donations should be new or gently used. Clothing and appliances will not be accepted.

Donations should be made by May 31 and can be dropped off at the volunteer office in the Fair Acres high rise building – building No. 8.

Books should be transported in sturdy boxes and not in bags.

If you have many boxes, call Cheryl Everngham, Director of Volunteer Services, at (610) 891-5770 so your boxes are delivered directly to the storage room.

The fair will feature water ice, strawberry shortcake, grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, Cannoli Cart from Viso’s Bakery in Aston, a bake table and a wide array of unique items that will be raffled off at the end of the day.

The Phillie Phanatic will also make a guest appearance around 1 p.m. to visit residents and all those in attendance.

Fair Acres provides individualized skilled nursing care for more than 800 residents, ranging in age from young adults to the elderly.

Volunteer efforts play a large role in the Therapeutic Activities Department of Fair Acres, which offers Bingo, dances, movie nights and a cooking club for residents.

Volunteers are essential to the operation of Fair Acres’ annual June Fair.

All proceeds go to the Fair Acres Resident Aid and Entertainment Fund.

In the event of inclement weather, the fair will be held Thursday, June 8.
