What has changed is the magnitude of the need, which looks to be the largest ever. Our Food Bank is reporting record volumes, as a greater than ever number of needy families are showing up.

In addition our weekend food program ended this last school year with well over 500 bags distributed each week. This is the kind of record we really didn’t want to shatter!

You can help, simply buying your tickets to this year’s event early will give us a head start towards the herculean task we’re going to be facing. Let’s be sure children in Bonner County aren’t going to go hungry this fall and winter.

So, please, purchase your tickets, then come and enjoy the wine, the food, the music and the camaraderie, and raise your paddle alongside other great Sandpoint people just like you who aren’t about to let the kids of our community suffer needlessly.
