Mum sale supporting Valley Rescue Mission arrives shy of the autumnal equinox

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL)-We are just less than 2 weeks away from the official start of fall and already the colors of the season are popping, including the flowers.

Valley Rescue Mission is currently holding their annual Mum Fundraiser to benefit their homeless and drug addiction rehabilitation ministries.

Mums are low maintenance plants that add a splash of color to your garden. Pansies are expected to arrive in a few more weeks ready for those with a green thumb.

The CEO of Valley Rescue Mission, Mike Gaymon, tells us how your purchases will help their programs.

The mums and pansies are home grown by the men and women in their programs in Muscogee and Harris counties and are priced at 16 dollars for each flowerpot.

You can purchase the Mums and Pansies at the main Valley Rescue Mission office on 2nd Avenue Monday through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and at their greenhouse Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
