This annual food tasting, with a seated main and final course, benefits the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina at Wilmington and features some of Wilmington’s most renowned chefs. This year’s event will feature chefs who supported the World Central Kitchen post-Hurricane Florence, which fed thousands of hot meals to people who had nowhere else to turn. Beyond delicious food, guests are able to participate in a live auction, listen to live music by the Folkstone String Band, and enjoy the beautiful grounds of Wrightsville Manor. For sponsorship opportunities and more information, please reach out to Beth Gaglione by email at bgaglione@foodbankcenc.org.
