Food for Families hosted its second Annual Roast and Toast Fundraiser on October 16, 2024, at The Grande Victorian in Monroe, NC. This year's event featured North Carolina Senator Todd Johnson as the Roastee.
Guests enjoyed a champagne toast upon arrival and were serenaded by the smooth, soulful Motown hits of the Carolina Soul Band.
Elegant hors d’oeuvres were served at each of the full-service bars while attendees awaited the 5-star butler service meal provided by Twinfections Catering.
Current and former North Carolina Senators took the stage to share a few friendly jabs at the good-natured Todd Johnson.
Emcee Ingram Walters kept the laughs coming, giving each Roaster a run for their money after they surrendered the microphone. Todd’s high-school sweetheart turned long-time wife Amanda wrapped up the entertainment with a few jabs of her own. Chicken Nuggets anyone? (IYKYK)
Most importantly, those in attendance answered the call to give! As the number of families served each month continues to grow, so does the need for additional food and resources to deliver high-nutritional food to everyone in our three-county service area facing food insecurity. No one will face the fight against hunger alone. You can join the fight at www.fffnc.org.
