On Friday, October 18, hundreds of supporters, donors, and community members will unite at Party Under The Harvest Moon, an annual celebration hosted by Food For Free to celebrate community spirit and raise awareness and funds to fight food insecurity across Eastern Massachusetts. The event goal is to raise $115,000.

Party Under The Harvest Moon raises critical funds to support the nonprofit’s innovative programs that serve more than 132,000 Massachusetts residents facing food insecurity and distributes 6.2 million pounds of nutritious fresh and prepared foods annually. This year, guests will hear from community partners and enjoy live music by Bubble Wave.

There will be appetizers and refreshments, a raffle, wine toss, and more. During the event, the nonprofit will present its inaugural Community Partner Award to Harvard University, celebrating the organization’s 10-year investment in Food For Free’s Heat-n-Eats program and commitment to reducing food waste and feeding those in need.

Party Under The Harvest Moon will take place from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at MIT’s Walker Memorial Morss Hall, located at 142 Memorial Drive in Cambridge. Ticket prices range from $75 for individuals to $1,000 for groups. For more information or to reserve tickets, visit: www.foodforfree.org/harvest-moon.
