Annual ‘Feed the Community Festival’ offers music, market, and much more

From Tortoise reports

The ninth annual Feed the Community Festival to benefit America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend will be held Sunday, Nov. 12 on the lawn at the Black Dog Cafe at Lake Ella. The event runs from noon until 5 p.m. and features live music, food from local restaurants, children’s activities, seated massage, raffle prizes, and a local merchant open-air market.

 Admission to the event is a donation of non-perishable food items and/or a financial donation to Second Harvest Food Bank. The organizers’ goal is to raise 5,000 pounds of food. Business and community members will have an opportunity to sponsor a family for the Thanksgiving holiday with a $25 donation to the food bank. Second Harvest can provide $32 worth of food for every dollar donated to people in need.
Locally Owned Tallahassee, a group of local independent business owners and community organizations, sponsors the event. America’s Second Harvest of the Big Bend is a not-for profit agency that collects and distributes food to local food pantries and provides on-site meals to children and families in need in the Tallahassee and Big bend Area.
