FEED Kitchens Livens up Fundraising Efforts with Summer Party

Proceeds will help build food business incubator on north side of Madison

(MADISON, Wis.) – Efforts to fund the building of Food Enterprise & Economic Development (FEED) Kitchens, a food business incubator, will continue on June 21 when the organization hosts a Summer Solstice Sampler event at Capital Brewery.

“We’re not only looking to raise money for construction of the facility, we’re also hoping to connect with potential users of the community kitchen, such as entrepreneurs, food cart operators and those looking to gain new job skills,” Jodi Pathmann, FEED’s event manager, said.

The event, which begins at 5:30 p.m. and goes until sundown, will feature a live performance from the band Sweetgrass. Advanced tickets are $33 or $38 at the door and include appetizers and desserts from local restaurants, as well as a cash bar.

In addition, FEED will host a silent auction, with all bidding conducted at www.feedkitchens.org.

FEED Kitchens announced recently more than $75,000 in grants to the Northside Planning Council to construct its facility, which will be located at 1502 Pankratz Street and break ground later this year.
