LETHBRIDGE HERALD
Lethbridge Food Bank and Interfaith Food Bank have announced a joint fundraising event. With the current climate due to COVID-19, both local food banks have had to look at alternatives for their major fundraising events. Lethbridge Food Bank and Interfaith Food Bank have partnered with local radio stations to host Feed Lethbridge, a city-wide dinner party on Sept. 25 from 6-9 p.m.
The community is invited to host dinner parties in their own locations, with friends, family or coworkers. The Feed Lethbridge website will host opportunities to purchase dinner packages, an online auction, and various other fundraising options to support local food banks.
Throughout the evening, participants can tune into their favourite local radio stations for music and direction to more Feed Lethbridge activities. This joint initiative will provide the community with a safe and flexible means of supporting local food banks and local businesses.
