Where to Find Claxton Fruit Cakes
Every year, I get requests about the traditional Claxton fruit cake and where to find it. Throughout November and December it is a fundraiser (their only one of the year) held by the Lakeshore Civitan Club
The club is part of a world-wide community organization dedicated to raising funds for intellectually handicapped organizations and other groups that support them. Selling the Claxton Fruit Cakes is the only way they raise these funds.
All cakes are sold by volunteers and all funds raised go to local charities, among them: WIAIH (West Island Association for the Intellectually Handicapped), Quebec Special Olympics, Light a Dream, Lucky Harvest, Generations Foundation, AVATIL (Training for Independent Living), as well as our annual distribution of Easter Food Baskets to the underprivileged in the West Island.
