The Back Story:
Last year this fundraising initiative was taken to help increase awareness and community engagement with our local food bank (Eden Food For Change) with a goal to raise ($2,000) by selling (100) tickets at ($20). A local business (Meridian Credit Union) learned about this initiative and matched the original ($2,000) goal. An additional (50) tickets were sold at ($20) helping to exceed the total donation ($5,100). The restaurant (Drake, A Firkin Pub) provided the venue, food vendors donated in kind and volunteers helped to set up, serve and clean up. These combined efforts ensured (100%) of the funds collected were provided directly to the food bank.
The Event:
The Buffet breakfast includes (Eggs, Bacon, Potatoes, Pancakes, Pastries, Fruit, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, Tea, Juices and more). The event will be attended by Santa and Mrs. Claus, First Responders (Police, Fire, Paramedic), Elected Officials (Federal, Provincial, Municipal), Chambers of Commerce, Service Organizations, Community Stakeholders, Local Businesses, Friends and Neighbours.
