Openings
are still available in the seventh annual golf outing to support the Fish &
Loaves Community Food Pantry, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 12, at
Taylor Meadows Golf Club, 25360 Ecorse Road.
The
golf outing is an important event that provides funding for the pantry, which
supplies food for needy and hungry families and individuals in Taylor, Allen
Park, Brownstown Township, Dearborn Heights, Romulus, Southgate and Woodhaven.
Check-in
on September 12 begins at 8 a.m. A shotgun start is set for 9 a.m. Golfers will
receive coffee and a continental breakfast, 18 holes of golf with the use of a
cart, lunch at the turn, dinner and two hours of bar service.
There
will be prizes for the winning team, closest to the pin and closest to the line.
Admission
is only $80 per golfer. All proceeds will go to the food pantry, whose mission
is to make sure that no one goes hungry and that those in need are served with
the dignity they deserve.
Volunteers
at the non-profit, faith-based, non-sectarian organization say the number of
people in need grows every month while the cost of food also escalates,
increasing expenses for the pantry. An estimated 2.1 million pounds of food is
distributed annually at the pantry, located at 25670 Northline Road in Taylor.
Sponsorships
also are available and donations are always accepted.
