3rd grader sells hot cocoa to support Chum

DULUTH, Minn. — On Monday, nine year old Amy Ray hosted a hot cocoa stand in support of Chum.

She sold cups of cocoa for $2 at her stand at Hartley Nature Center. All proceeds will be donated directly to Chum Duluth to support its services and programs.

Her fundraising goal of $100 was quickly surpassed from selling cocoa and receiving donations.

“I have a hot chocolate stand, and I’m going to use the money that I make from it, and I’m going to give it to a homeless shelter,” Ray said. “I like to help people, and I know I’m helping people, and I like doing that, so it feels fun.”

This is Amy’s second time hosting a hot cocoa stand, last year she raised money for a preschool that burned down during wildfires in California.
