WINNSBORO – The merchants of downtown Winnsboro sold and displayed pink paper hearts for $1 during February to raise money for the homeless in the community. During the weekly merchant meeting on Friday, the money raised ($150) was presented to Bleva Bush Belton for the Closet to Closet ministry she runs in the Gordon Odyssey building for Fairfield County homeless students and their families. Presenting the funds to Belton are merchants, from left, Crystal Paulk (The Donut Guy), Vanessa Reynolds (Sunshine & Serenity), Belton, Wanda Carnes (Artists Coop) and Valery Clowney (farmers’ market).
