For more than 15 years the Greater Lansing community has gathered to support Greater Lansing Food Bank’s mission via the Empty Plate Strolling Dinner & Auction. Guests return year after year and are reminded each time how much fun fighting hunger can be when we do it together, surrounded by colleagues, family and friends.
This night includes a strolling dinner featuring area chefs along with live and silent auctions showcasing more than a hundred unique prizes. These festivities all support our goal of delivering more than 10 million meals to neighbors in 2023.
All guests of the event will receive a plate hand-painted by local school children, symbolizing their support and promise to make sure no one’s plate goes empty in mid-Michigan. This year’s Empty Plate Strolling Dinner & Auction will be held at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center at Michigan State University. You can support the 15th Annual Empty Plate and Greater Lansing Food Bank by sponsoring this event or by donating to our live and/or silent auctions.
This fundraiser is made possible by the generosity we receive from the community and we look forward to partnering with you to advance our mission through this event.
Acerca de Empty Plate
En 2007, Mimi Heberlein tuvo una idea sobre una nueva forma de retribuir a la comunidad. A partir de varias ideas y modelos de eventos de recaudación de fondos, creó un evento que marcaría la pauta en nuestra comunidad. Gracias a su visión, el Empty Plate Strolling Dinner and Auction es ahora uno de los principales eventos de recaudación de fondos de Lansing.
