Some of the people who bought tickets told us to keep the money.

There was not enough ticket sales. We needed to sell at least 100 tickets to cover the cost of the food.

Our donations are down by at least $10,000. We're hurting for money. I know there's a lot of donor burnout. We do appreciate all the food and personal items that people donate but we need money to stay open.

This is one of our best fundraisers. We usually have 40 to 80 people.
