The Everyday Foundation is calling on generous local businesses to join with them in ending hunger on the Sunshine Coast at their annual long lunch fundraiser.

The Nambour-based charity has announced its third annual Zaleta Love Food, Give Food Long Lunch to be held on Friday, August 28 at Flaxton Gardens.

Last year the event raised more than $200,000, providing vital funds that made a significant difference in the community amidst rising cost-of-living pressures.

General manager Karen Gullo said the event was a practical opportunity for businesses from all over the region to show their support for food relief on the Sunshine Coast through table or event sponsorships.

“We have a number of businesses that are repeat sponsors of the event,” Ms Gullo said.

“For them it’s a way to show how dedicated they are to helping locals doing it tough while giving them the opportunity to treat their staff and clients to a fun and impactful day out.”

Guests will sit down to a four-course meal with grazing and drinks into the late afternoon, along with a live and silent auction.

“The generosity of our guests last year made a huge impact on so many lives and we’re confident we’ll be able to beat last year’s total to meet even more people in their place of need,” Ms Gullo said.
