Network of Community Ministries is celebrating its 5th Annual Food Pantry Fork-Off on Saturday evening, October 19th at 7 p.m. at Network’s headquarters, 1500 International Parkway. Richardson restaurants and businesses will be providing delicious samplings of their best offerings. The evening is filled with dancing, live and silent auctions, an apron contest, activities, games, and more— all to benefit Network’s programs for neighbors in need! Fork-Off is definitely not your typical sit-down dinner. This year’s Honorary Chairs are Richardson residents, Margie and Bill Golden.
“We’ve been privileged to see Network of Community Ministries positively impact our community for nearly four decades, bringing help and hope to those in need. We hope you will join us at the Food Pantry Fork-Off on Saturday, October 19 for a night of great food and entertainment, all while raising funds to support families on their journey toward self-sufficiency.” –Margie and Bill Golden, Honorary Chairs.
Network’s service area encompasses all 14 zip codes of the RISD including areas of North Dallas, Lake Highlands and Garland.
