Pallets with Purpose 2024!

Mark your calendars for Friday, November 8th, as Northshore Food Bank hosts its 22nd Annual Pallets with Purpose: Puttin' on the Ritz!  Step into the glitz and glamour of Old Hollywood as our warehouse is transformed into a vintage casino night, where guests are encouraged to dress in their finest classic attire and try their hand at a variety of exciting games.

The evening will feature 10 casino tables with games like Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, and 3-Card Poker, offering everyone a chance to win big and take home fantastic prizes.  Along with the lively gaming action, guests will enjoy a top-notch buffet by Gary Bonanno Catering, full-service bars, and energetic DJ entertainment to keep the atmosphere buzzing.  Don't miss our unique "Rock Around the Clock" raffles, Wine Plinko, Silent Auction items, and other surprises throughout the night!

We extend a heartfelt thanks to Chevron, Hardy Carey Chautin & Balkin, Louisiana Healthcare Connections, and The Kramer Foundation for continuing their generous sponsorships, as well as Northshore Toyota & PoolCorp for returning as gaming table sponsors.  Their support is essential to sustaining Northshore Food Bank's mission and making a lasting impact in our community.

As always, all proceeds from Pallets with Purpose support Northshore Food Bank’s essential food programs, which serve food-insecure families, children, seniors, and cancer patients in St. Tammany Parish.  From our Family Staple Food Box and Senior Food to our Kids Weekend Food Program and Therapeutic Food Pantry, participation in this fundraiser ensures that the Food Bank can continue to provide vital services to those who need it most.

By attending Puttin’ on the Ritz, you're not only in for a spectacular evening of fun and entertainment—you’re also playing a crucial role in the fight against hunger on the Northshore.
