Re-envisioning FoodFest
FoodFest, our signature fundraiser, has been a staple event for our mission and the community for the past 25 years. During these uncertain times, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s FoodFest.
We rely on funds raised from FoodFest to provide resources to operate our shelter. Sadly, we are losing this critical revenue stream at a time when the need has never been greater.
Given that the COVID-19 crisis has created an urgent need for community support, we are launching our Campaign for Hope, a virtual fundraiser in these times of social distancing. To learn how you or your organization can get involved, visit helpfbms.org/hope.

Event Details
Last year, FBMS celebrated the 25th FoodFest fundraiser. Approximately 1,000 guests, vendors, and volunteers attended our milestone event, helping us raise more than $350,000 to assist our neighbors in need! Funds raised at FoodFest help FBMS fill the funding gap at our emergency shelters for individuals experiencing homelessness.

Sponsors
FoodFest raises a majority of its funds from corporate partners who sponsor the event at various levels. We are excited to work with our sponsors in new and creative ways to ensure they are properly recognized for your support.
