JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – To raise money for Kids Against Hunger, Jamestown Kiwanis is again holding a live auction and dinner event. This time, however, the club added a special addition.
The 50 or so members of Kiwanis are working toward their $20,000 Kids Against Hunger goal. Kids Against Hunger is a meal-packaging event in which 300 volunteers pack meals for hungry families. The meals are distributed throughout North Dakota and Minnesota through the Great Plains Food Bank. This year’s event is set for Saturday, Nov. 4.
“Members of the Kiwanis Club of Jamestown volunteer at this event every year in our effort to help children thrive, prosper and grow,” said Sarah Griego, Jamestown Kiwanis Club president. “We know kids need Kiwanis, in our community and in communities around the world.”
Last year, about 60 Kiwanians and community members attended the Kids Against Hunger Dinner & Live Auction. They raised about $4,000 or enough to package about 16,000 meals.
This year, Kiwanis added to the event.
In addition to the dinner and live auction, the club will also host two local bands, Stevie K and Intrigue. Both groups donated their time to the cause.
The Kids Against Hunger Live Auction & Concert is set for Thursday, Oct. 4 at the Jamestown Arts Center. Dinner includes soups, breads, salads and desserts. Kiwanis member Terry Lund will serve as the evening’s auctioneer. Cost is a freewill donation.
