Marquette, Michigan – November 3, 2015 – Tickets are now available for the Inaugural Night of 5,000 Dinners: Feed the Need Harvest Pig Roast. AMCAB Meals on Wheels needs to raise enough money for 5,000 meals for homebound seniors in Marquette and Alger counties with a fundraising Harvest Pig Roast on November 5th at the Lost Creek Community Center in Marquette.
Local chefs Bill Donnel of AMCAB and Deb Pearce from NMU will prepare a harvest meal featuring a pig roast, chicken, and locally harvested foods along with a cash wine and beer bar. The Yooper Goddess will be there serving some of her special appetizers during the social hour. Entertainment is by the Kirsten Gustafson jazz trio.
Tickets are $50. For tickets visit Everyday Wines on Baraga Avenue or call the AMCAB office at 906-228-6522.
The Night of 5,000 Dinners: Feed the Need Fundraiser can be the opening to the giving season of the holidays. What better way to start the holiday season than by supporting home-bound seniors who need our help? Every year over 550 seniors in Marquette and Alger counties rely on Meals on Wheels to maintain their independence and remain in their own homes. Federal and State funding provide less than half of what is needed to run the Meals on Wheels program, so more than half of the budget needs to be raised locally. Senior Millages, the United Way, senior donations, and many local grants help, but the remainder needs to be fund-raised with events like this dinner.
The goal is to raise $17,500, enough to provide the local portion needed to fund 5,000 meals. Tickets are available now and only 140 will be sold.
