Abundance is EFN's yearly fundraising dinner, scheduled for October 26th this year. The event aims to raise funds to sustain our partner programs and so we can strive towards eradicating hunger in Pierce County. Your participation will contribute to the success of this important event!
Description: During the first half of the evening, volunteers serve as bar recorders and runners. Bar recorders are stationed next to each bar to take a guests bid number and drink type on a form, ultimately making the bar lines faster. The runner visit each bar regularly and take the form to the "bank". This runner should also regularly visit the raffle table and take forms to the bank as well.
During the live auction this is a very important position. Recorder are recording the final bid number and sale amount that the auctioneers yells out as the winner of each item on a form. Runners will take the forms back and forth to the "bank." Honey Runners will bring jars of honey to tables during the live auction for package winners. During Raise the Paddle all runners will take pledge cards for monthly donations to dining tables and run them back to the "bank".
Qualifications: Ability to focus in noisy setting and to be on their feet.

The mission of Emergency Food Network is "to provide Pierce County with a consistent, diverse and nutritious food supply so that no person goes hungry."
"Currently, 1 in 10 people in Pierce County face food insecurity, and this need is continuing to rise. Through our 75+ Partner Programs (food pantries, meal sites, and shelters) all over Pierce County, EFN distributed over 14 million pounds of food in 2023 to our neighbors in need, including fresh produce grown at EFN’s Mother Earth Farm. This work was made possible by our 2,000+ volunteers, who worked over 12,000 hours in 2023. Volunteer work is vital in helping EFN pursue our mission of ensuring no person goes hungry. Volunteer opportunities include the Repack Project, Home Delivery, EFN’s Mother Earth Farm, and special events throughout the year. We hope you will join us!"
