For the classroom
In Lewiston, Idaho, about 200 people went to a dinner called A Seat at the Table. Chefs cooked, and the money raised went to the Idaho Foodbank for North Central Idaho. The food bank said the evening supports more than 250,000 meals. A fundraiser is a party or event where the tickets and gifts pay for help later. The people at the tables were not packing those meals one by one that night. They were paying so the food bank can keep meals moving to neighbors in that part of the state. The number is what this one night was able to support.
