OXFORD – A owner of a local coffee house and several local artisans are joining forces to raise much-needed funds for Destiny Equine Center, a non-profit animal rescue located at 904 Hoben Road in Oxford.

From 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5 and Saturday, Dec. 12, Kathi Moser of Clachan Coffee House will host a special holiday sale at her establishment, located at 8 Lafayette Park in Oxford. She and others participating in the sale, including Nancy Russo Photography and Hats by Angelique, plan to donate a percentage of their sales from the event to the charitable organization.

“Michele is one of my regular customers,” said Moser, who explained that she was drawn to support the effort after witnessing how Destiny Equine Founder Michele Delorenzo had opened her heart to the animals she has rescued.

The idea for the sale grew, she said, after Delorenzo started raising money for the rescue by selling handcrafted jewelry at the coffee house. 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the pieces, sold under the name Jewelry by Destiny, goes directly to the animal rescue.

Customers will also have the opportunity to purchase handcrafted jewelry made by Delorenzo herself, which she sells under the name Jewelry by Destiny.

According to Moser, the jewelry has already been a big hit with her regular patrons. “People have gone absolutely nuts for it,” she said.
