Neighbors’ Community Celebration: Family Fun to Support Local Food Shelf

Thanks to 5-8 Grill & Tap for their support. From $8 Juicy Lucy Mondays to hand battered fish Fry-days and new weekend breakfast, try the 5-8 for great food at a great value every day.

The nonprofit food shelf Neighbors, Inc. is hosting a community celebration and charity walk to raise support.

“We believe that when we come together, we’re stronger and this event is all about celebrating that spirit of interconnectedness and community,” said Neighbors, Inc. Development Director Andrew Hoffman.

Community Connection

More than just Neighbors, Inc., the event will feature resource tables from other nonprofit organizations as well.

“Our hope is that attendees will feel inspired to get involved, whether that’s with Neighbors, Inc. or another organization that aligns with their passions,” said Hoffman. “When people engage with their community, they feel more connected and empowered to make a difference.”
