Join The River Food Pantry at their largest fundraiser of the year, the Ninth Annual Harvest Dinner for Hunger. The event is Sunday, Oct. 21, 4:30–8 pm at Madison College’s beautiful new Truax Campus at 3550 Anderson Street.

Guests will enjoy live music, a silent auction, raffles and culinary delights provided by local restaurants and chefs, announced soon. The event will also feature personal stories told by those whose lives have been improved because of The River.

“This year’s Harvest Dinner will be our biggest event ever,” said Rhonda Adams, Director of Advancement at The River. “Every guest, sponsor and partner will help plant the seeds for a fully nourished community.”

All proceeds will go toward providing food and groceries for hungry families in Dane County who visit The River. Tickets to the dinner are $75 per person and can be purchased at  www.riverfoodpantry.org/events/harvest.
