Harvest Dinner for Hunger a Success

It was a great night at the 6th Annual Harvest Dinner for Hunger on Sunday, Oct. 11. More than 240 guests set sail on a voyage to end hunger in Dane County at The East Side Club on the shores of Lake Monona. The evening was filled with great food, great fun, and inspirational stories from those personally touched by The River. The event raised $60,000, which will purchase nutritious and healthy food for four months! On average, The River serves 2,500 households a month, distributing 152,000 pounds of food and over 2,000 hot meals, making it the busiest food pantry in Dane County.
