The Daily Bruin

Do you love truffles? Are you interested in helping out a missionary family in Uganda this Christmas? If so, please consider purchasing some truffles (gluten free!) to help me make the trip to Africa!

These will hold up for Christmas and most definitely would be an excellent gift and/or party treat. They are $10 a dozen and varieties include almond, cherry, coconut, coffee bean, peppermint (my personal fav!) and “traditional” (dark chocolate).

I can deliver these to you if you are in the Newberg area, or I can mail them! And they hold up well. I have even mailed them to Wyoming to a friend who freezed them and saved them for months. They even made it to some soldiers in Afghanistan. If I have to mail them to you, I will have to add the cost of postage, so just tack on $10, please.

If interested or if you have questions, feel free to e-mail me at eheidy09@georgefox.edu or call me at 503-901-1062.

Thank you,
Elise Heidy
