The Food Bank Hopes to Raise $50,000 During the Virtual Event
January 19, 2021
Due to the COVID pandemic, the organization will host its first-ever virtual Chef’s Gala.
The event typically takes place at the Timberlake Lodge and serves as the Food Bank’s largest fundraiser of the year.
Last year the fundraiser helped collect over $80,000, however, organizers are setting a goal of $50,000 this year.
Staff says they saw a 30 percent increase in the need for food assistance throughout North Central Minnesota in 2020.
With the increase, the community rallied together to support their neighbors.
“The communities have been amazing during this time. We just don’t know what’s going to happen in 2021 there’s a lot of things up in the air right now and we are just making sure we are ready and able to help anybody who’s in need,” said Trisha Zimmerman, development director at Second Harvest North Central Food Bank.
