EVENTS
Events serve as excellent avenues to commemorate our achievements and advancements with the community collectively. ProJeCt organizes various gatherings yearly to celebrate with our students, community members, and beneficiaries, fostering a sense of togetherness and shared accomplishment. Our events include:
Simply Savory is a community event where local restaurants, caterers, bakeries, wineries, and breweries come together for an evening of delight! In addition, we will have some amazing prizes in our silent auction donated by various community members!
Your support helps ProJeCt to continue providing essential services to thousands of local families who benefit from supplemental food, emergency support, and homelessness prevention, as well as adult and family literacy programs that prepare them for success in work, school, and life. Our services – all free of charge - are needed now, more than ever, as so many have had their lives disrupted and destabilized by the pandemic, and others continue to face the challenges of poverty.
Simply Savory is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a night out while supporting ProJeCt of Easton's mission of "Helping People Help Themselves."
Thank you to all of our supporters for making this year's Simply Savory a tremendous success! See you next year!
