5 Loaves 2 Fish hosts fundraiser

From staff reports

Mark your calendars. 5 Loaves 2 Fish will host its second annual “Big Change Equals Big Change” fundraiser on Tuesday, Aug. 22. The fun starts at 6 p.m. at Main Street Gallery’s magical spot along the Leland River, and attendees will be treated to music by Geno and the Big Change Band; hotdogs and brats (featuring authentic Detroit Coney Sauce) courtesy of Franklin’s Wiener Wagon; fresh and inventive salads; Janiecake’s cupcakes; complimentary beer and wine; and our signature Big Change cocktail for $5.

Last year’s event raised $9,000 and enabled 5 Loaves 2 Fish to buy a convection oven, commercial fridge and cooler, and a portable buffet table. This year the nonprofit hope to raise even more as their need for food continues to grow. (They served 45 meals a week when 5Loaves2Fish was founded in 2020. Today the need has grown to 350 meals each week.) Event tickets are $100 each and are going fast, and may sell out early.
