In recognition of Big Y’s commitment to the community and in honor of its 80th Anniversary, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Donald D’Amour will serve as honorary chairman of the event. There are a lot of ingredients in Big Y’s recipe to end hunger. In addition to the company’s core work of providing a World Class experience to customers while caring for their home food needs, Big Y is committed to being a good partner in the many communities it serves. At The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts, we can say that when it comes to feeding hungry people, this family owned and operated company is the leader in donated food! 635,353 pounds of food or 52% of all the locally donated food we receive at The Food Bank comes from Big Y.
The Event will feature food from some of the area’s best restaurants including: The Alvah Stone, Blue Heron Restaurant, Chandler’s Restaurant, Elegant Affairs, The Log Cabin / Delaney House, Luxe Burger, Pengyew Catering, Randall’s Farm and Red Lion Inn. As well as drinks from Berkshire Brewing Company who will be on hand to pour samples of their signature local craft beer and local distributor Martignetti Companies will have a selection of wine and spirits for you to try. A full cash bar will also be available.
Everyone will have the opportunity to bid on amazing gifts and packages throughout the evening such as an overnight stay for two at The Red Lion Inn, wine tasting for five at Gouveia Vinyards and a pair of passes to tour a Newport Mansion of your choice. All proceeds benefit The Food Bank. Do you or someone you know work at a business that would like to donate an auction item?Contact us to donate today.
