JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – It’s been two years since the last Kiwanis Against Hunger meal packaging event, but the club is excited to start fundraising and preparing for its return.
Hundreds of volunteers and donors have allowed the club to package more than 1.26 million meals since 2011.
Kiwanian Katie Ryan-Anderson says they are partnering with Orphan Grain Train and Mercy Meals to make the packaging and distribution possible. Great Plains Food Bank will also be helping to distribute the meals across the state.
Ryan-Anderson says they’ve raised nearly $300,000 to package the meals with help from an anonymous donor.
The live pie auction is something Ryan-Anderson has wanted to do for some time for two reasons; raising money for Kiwanis and highlighting a longtime Kiwanian Sharon Caine.
Live Pie Auction attendees can expect a variety of pies including apple, caramel-apple, pumpkin, cherry, pecan, sour cream raisin, lemon and peach. Attendees can also expect other auction items like gifts, trips and family fun. It will be held tonight at the Jamestown Arts Center starting at 5:30 PM.
