Auburn Food Bank to host Luau Gala fundraiser on Saturday, July 19

The Auburn Food Bank is set to host a Hawaiian-themed Luau Gala fundraiser on July 19 from 5 to 8 p. m. at Messiah Lutheran Church. Tickets are priced at $50 and can be purchased online or by contacting the food bank directly. Attendees will enjoy a festive evening complete with dinner, drinks, and both live and silent auctions.

Proceeds will go towards the remodel of the food bank's new facility, which aims to improve services for families facing food insecurity in the Auburn area. Organizers highlight the importance of community support, urging attendees to buy tickets or sponsor tables. The food bank, a volunteer-directed organization, provides essential food and emergency assistance to local families. Several businesses have already stepped up as sponsors, demonstrating strong community backing. This event not only raises funds but also fosters community engagement in supporting those in need.
