The Georgia Mountain Food Bank (GMFB) is set to host their 15th annual Empty Bowl Lunch.
The event looks to help address hunger, health, and quality of life through their five-county service area of Hall, Dawson, Forsyth, Lumpkin, and Union counties.
The lunch will be held at Lanier Technical College’s Ramsey Conference Center next Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
This year’s Empty Bowl Lunch will showcase the expansion of GMFB’s facilities and how that will help provide food to more families this year.
State Senator-Elect Drew Echols will be in attendance along with roughly 1,000 other individuals representing civic, corporate, non-profit, and church organizations throughout northeast Georgia.
The event will feature a live action auctioneered by Doug Carter.
Since 2008, GMFB has provided over 70 million meals to their five-county service area.
