All of the proceeds benefit the Individuals and families that seek assistance from the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry, which is the only one that serves the entire County and is open five days a week. Over the last few years, our community has been hit hard. Any of our neighbors are unable to put food on their tables. In 2023, the Food Pantry served 32% more of its neighbors compared to 2022 and 89% more than in 2020. All of the event proceeds go towards benefiting the food-insecure Elgin neighbors. They need your support. Help your neighbors in their time of need and enjoy some delicious soup from some of Elgin’s finest chefs. There will be a silent auction that will showcase some of Elgin’s amazing businesses and organizations. Together we can bring an end to hunger in our community!
