Boys and Girls Club of the Sandhills.
Through the SFB, the children
in the after-school program
are provided with a hot meal
five days a week.
In addition to aiding the hungry
in its area, the SFB collected
donations for the victims of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in
the gulf coast regions. Two truck
loads of food and supplies (over
60,000 pounds) were delivered
to Louisiana.
Sandi Mardigian said, “The
Fresh Market has been a regular
contributor to the Sandhills
Food Bank for many years and
we feel that this is truly a synergetic
endeavor – working together
to feed the hungry. We are all
looking forward to a successful
and enjoyable evening on
April 19.”
