Ladles of Love Fundraiser
To Benefit East End Food Pantry Network
Saturday Saturday January 17, 2009 from 12 to 10 p.m.

Why:
Urgent need to fill the empty shelves of East End Food Pantries after the holiday cheer has subsided

How:
By bringing non-perishable boxes, cans and fresh produce to the Food Drive tent in the parking lot in front of Art of Eating Catering facilities located in the Diner just West of Amagansett Village, between the hours of noon and 10:00 pm.

How:
By attending the “Soup Kitchen Ladle Out” between 6:00pm and 10:00pm under the Soup Kitchen Tent.

Caring community members are urged to give a can or box or bag to the food drive throughout the day by stopping in at the “Soup Kitchen Ladle Out” tent with their much needed food donation. It is time to get involved as so many members of our East End community are now without work and , yes, some without food. Complementary coffee and cider will be served to anyone who stops in, whether you have food to donate or just need a hot cup of coffee.

If your heart and stomach really want to be in the Soup Kitchen frame of mind, come to the “Ladle Out” between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm where the best local restaurants will be ladling out their best “Soup Kitchen soups”, with bread, of course. Live music by……No frills, great soup and a great cause. Meet the Food Pantry staff and volunteers from Southampton to Montauk and be part of the solution. Help them to help our struggling East End Neighbors.

The majority of this event has been created by donations from all vendors. All profits from the event will be donated to the East End Food Pantry network.

A limited number of “Soup Kitchen Ladle Out” passes will be available for $49.00 each. Please contact 631 267-3212 for further information.
