Join Ms. Myers and Build Now for a special housewarming party, hosted by Molly’s on the Market. All guests who donate $10 or a gift of equal or greater value will enjoy complementary appetizers and will be entered into a raffle to win a $100 bar tab at Molly’s on the Market, along with other prizes.

All donations will benefit The Build Now Furnishing Fund, for homeowners who have invested all their funds into their new house, and need a little extra help to make it feel like home.

Lagniappe: For the entire month of September, Molly’s on the Market will feature the “Ms. Myers’ Dark & Stormy,” a drink special with proceeds to benefit The Build Now Furnishing Fund. Stop by, and bring friends.
