“This year, Forks & Corks is especially important to Harvesters and the 66,000 people who receive food from our network each week,” said Karen Haren, president & CEO of Harvesters.

“Today more families than ever are struggling to put food on the table. Your Forks & Corks ticket provides a unique opportunity to sample the cuisine of our finest local chefs and help Harvesters provide 425 meals to those who might not have a meal at all.”

Forks & Corks showcases Kansas City’s finest chefs and beverage purveyors, who offer samplings of their signature dishes and fine wines for the city’s largest hunger relief benefit. Last year Forks & Corks hosted 2,000 guests who helped Harvesters provide more than one million meals to those in need.

“At Forks & Corks Harvesters and our local restaurant community unite in our mission to feed hungry people,” Haren said. “We salute our local restaurants and beverage purveyors for their generous donations of food, time and money, which help make it possible for Harvesters to meet the growing need for emergency food assistance in our community.”

Forks & Corks sponsorship opportunities at all levels are still available. Interested corporate partners and restaurants should contact Harvesters at 816.929.3010.
