This family style, multi-course dinner will be prepared by Wheelhouse Farm Truck & Catering, featuring the day’s harvest from Honey Pot Farm, Swazlowski Farm, and other local growers. Enjoy an intimate evening of exceptional food with discussions highlighting volunteer opportunities available to you to make a positive impact in our community.
The Food Bank is proud of their longstanding relationship with area farmers, who partner with The Food Bank to ensure that everyone has access to healthy food, regardless of their circumstances. Last year, one million of the ten million pounds distributed was grown right here in the Pioneer Valley by 28 local farms.
All proceeds from the event will benefit The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. Together, with your support, we can continue to cultivate these partnerships and put more fresh food on dinner tables across our region.
