Aurora Interfaith Food Pantry Gala Oct. 6
Aurora Area Interfaith Food Pantry will hold its annual fundraising gala Saturday, Oct. 6 at Pipers Banquets on Butterfield Road in Aurora. This year’s event, OctoberFeast, will feature beer, wine, and whiskey tastings, a full open bar, a delicious German-themed dinner, and live and silent auctions. Tickets are $100 per person and all proceeds will help benefit Aurora Food Pantry.
This annual fundraiser is crucial to ensure that the 20,000 individuals who visit Aurora Food Pantry each year, including more than 9,000 children, continue to have access to fresh, healthy food. Every $1 raised at OctoberFeast will provide $7 worth of food to needy families in the Aurora area community.
Dress for the event is business casual, and guests are encouraged to wear lederhosen.
A highlight of the evening will be the silent and live auctions, which will include vacations, sports tickets, and one-of-a-kind experiences.

Sponsors needed: Walk for Hope
For more than 43 years, thousands of individuals of all ages, from all walks of life, have trusted Mutual Ground to provide life-changing services that have empowered them to end the cycle of domestic and/or sexual violence. We continue to serve these individuals and families who come to us when they are facing one of the most difficult times of their lives.
Mutual Ground’s 11th Annual Walk for Hope will be held Sunday, Oct. 14 at Blackberry Farm in Aurora. This event raises a significant amount of Mutual Ground’s budget and enables the agency to provide domestic violence and sexual assault services to the community completely free of charge.
Walk for Hope is a time for us to come together, to show the strength of our community, and to support those who need us most.
