Buon Appetito! The Nelson Italian-Canadian Society is Serving Up their 1st
Annual Italian Sausage Fundraiser
Since 1972, Nelsonites have shown they have an appetite for good Italian food and enjoyed
yearly Italian style banquets while helping the Nelson Italian-Canadian Society to fundraise in support of many community initiatives.
But this year, COVID-19 has upended everyone’s lives, including the fundraising efforts of the community group. So far the group has had to cancel its Wine Festival, Bocce Tournament, Members’ Picnic and their annual BBQ’d Italian sausage sale, complete with grilled onions and red and green peppers, at the Nelson Road Kings Car Show.
So, with that in mind, the NICS has organized its volunteers to sell their famous Car Show
sausages for people to prepare and enjoy at home. They are now taking orders for mild or hot Italian sausages. Fresh, not frozen – 5 sausages per package for only $12. All proceeds go to support charitable initiatives in Nelson.
The NICS homemade Italian sausages are made from an authentic recipe that uses just four
ingredients. No filler, no preservatives, no gluten, no dairy. Just really good food.
“The Society volunteers are thrilled at the opportunity to be able to fundraise in spite of the
COVID cancellations of our events. We not only get to continue to give to the community but we get to feed them too. Now that’s Italian.” says NICS President Paul Boscariol. “Thanks in
advance to everyone who spends a few dollars and supports our 1st annual Italian Sausage
Fundraiser.”

Pre-orders for sausages are limited and the sale closes on July 22, 2020.
