Special EventsFood For The Poor’s Special Events Department has raised millions to help the destitute of Latin America and the Caribbean. The many functions we organize allow our donors to volunteer, contribute and interact socially, as they gather for a common cause: helping the poorest of the poor. Special events in the past have included events such as black-tie gala dinner/dances which include live and silent auctions, golf and fishing tournaments, sponsored walks/races, concert performances, dinner parties and themed events. If you have a good idea for a Food For The Poor fundraising event, let us know! Contact us here or events@foodforthepoor.org or at 888-404-4248.
