McAlister's Deli Opening Week Fundraiser City Results in $1,200 Donation to Local Food Pantry3/6/2018 Knoxville, TN (March 6, 2018) — To celebrate opening its doors in the Fountain City community earlier this year, McAlister's Deli held an Opening Week Fundraiser, donating a percentage of sales from the week to a local food pantry.
The result of Fountain City’s Opening Week Fundraiser was a $1,200 donation to FISH Hospitality Pantries, a local organization that provides food to more than 8,000 families every month. Recognizing a poverty problem in its area, FISH asks what more can be done to help ensure that everyone gets enough to eat. This question motivates its three core aims:
FISH Pantries are 100% volunteer run and rely on donations. Each pantry has a thrift store, whose proceeds go directly to the food bank. Peak Restaurants’ donation will help the people at FISH Hospitality Pantries feed 240 families of four—960 people—for three days. Learn more about FISH Hospitality Pantries here.
