OSBA Gives $14k to Black Walnut
After the devastating fire that burnt down the Black Walnut Café, an Old South London landmark, the area businesses banded together in support of their friends during a tough time. That included fundraising efforts that unfolded into the Old South Business Association presenting a cheque to Mandy Etheridge from the Black Walnut Café for $13,947! It’s a large sum of money made up of a lot of small donations from a very supportive community. Their biggest competitor in Wortley Village lead the fundraising initiatives!
