"Send out your light" was the
theme at this year's gala put on by
the Huron County Food Bank Dis-
tribution Centre; this theme was
meant to inspire guests to reach
out to their community. The event
itself was positive for the commu-
nity as it raised around $17,000 for
the centre.
This was the distribution cen-
tre's third annual gala, and it took
place on August 4 at the Libro
Community Hall in Clinton.
Ticket sales were up quite a bit
from the previous years with
almost 200 people in attendance
from all over Huron County.
For the first two years since its
inception, the event was held at
the Christian Reformed Church in
Vanastra. However they outgrew
the space there, and in the last
couple years have held it at the
Community Complex in Clinton.
The evening included live and

of Chef Devon Taber who is based
in Clinton.
"Our fundraiser dinner has
become a very important event
for us" said director Mary Ellen
Zielman. "Not only for the money
that we raise, but also just to cele-
brate with our supporters and the
community. We look forward to it
each year, and each year we get to
see the generosity of this commu-
nity! If we choose, we can all help
in small ways that when com-
bined will help our community in
a very large way, and I can tell you
that I have heard personal stories
from people in this community
who very much appreciate your
generosity."
The distribution centre sources
fresh produce, meats, dairy prod-
ucts and more in large quantities,
downsizes it and delivers it to
foodbanks in Huron County.
They have already set the date
for next year's gala which will be
on August 3, 2017.
