A small business owner and local artist decided it was time to Let Your Light Shine by giving back to the community once again.
After an almost decade-long hiatus, Jacquie Clarke is resurrecting her Christmas light bulb ornament fundraiser again this year to benefit Hospice.
The ornament sells at Butterfly Threads, Clarke's store, and Northern Hardware for $6 or three for $15, with $1 from each going to the Prince George Hospice Society.
"We decided to start it up again because people keep asking for them so I've been collecting these old light bulbs that we used to put in our trees," said Clarke, who has been gathering bulbs for about a year for her Let Your Light Shine project. "We've made a few hundred of them and Northern Hardware has been so lovely and donated the bulbs to me."
She said she makes them in her spare time as she watches television in the evening.
"It gives me something to do," said Clarke, who used to work with chemotherapy patients and has had family members at Hospice who have spent the end of their lives in the facility.
"So if I'm going to do this for any cause it's going to be this great cause."
