Attleboro, MA – For the first time in decades, hunger is on the rise. Attleboro Area Interfaith Collaborative is hosting a Spring Benefit: Hunger to Hope on Thursday, May 17 at 6pm at the Hillside Country Club in Rehoboth. Tickets are $50 and the public is invited to attend. The event will feature a show with local comedian Candace Sallale, live auction and grand raffle. Call 508-222-2933 for details and to RSVP.
This is an opportunity to learn about food insecurity in eastern Massachusetts and how you can assist your neighbors. Additional opportunities are available. Grand Raffle tickets are $20, may be purchased in advance and you do not have to be present to win. Enjoy a stay at Seaport Hotel in Boston, dinner for two at Strega Waterfront, two general admission tickets to Institute of Contemporary Art, and a $50 Visa Gift Card (estimated value $750).
AAIC is the leading agency in the region for providing emergency meals through their Food n’ Friends Program. Last year they served 22,414 hot meals to low-income/food insecure individuals. In addition, they served 4,462 bagged lunches in the summer to children in Attleboro and North Attleboro. This year, the Kids Summer Café is expanding its reach to serve youth in Norton.
“As April is National Volunteer Month, it is important to recognize that assisting our neighbors is possible with the help of a core of 500 volunteers,” says Lisa Piscatelli, executive director of AAIC. “Generous support of area individuals, organizations, houses of worship, and businesses is also vital in these efforts.”
Sponsors include Acupuncture & Chiropractic Clinic ¬for event and Mansfield Bank for grand raffle. Dinner sponsors are Janet & Jim Richardi and The Sullivan Family.
