Supporters of the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County gathered at The Lark restaurant last Wednesday, September 13, for the 5th annual Pre-Event for the Table of Life Gala to be held next month.
The Foodbank works with more than 300 nonprofit partners to distribute food and provide nutrition education. Last year, it distributed 9.7 million pounds of food, half of which was fresh produce. It serves an astonishing one in four people in the county.
The Table of Life Gala fundraiser, to be held October 8 at the Montecito estate of Stephanie and Jim Sokolove, will feature food by Chef Michael Hutchings and Christine Dahl and entertainment by the Doublewide Kings. Palmer Jackson Jr. will host, Dr. Fred Kass will speak, and Maryan Schall and Deckers Brands will be honored.
