“OctoberFresh” Event to Raise Money for Hurricane Helene Relief

September 30, 2024 | Sarasota

Join us for a special edition of Fresh Fridays 7-10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4 in downtown Sarasota on Main Street as we come together to support our community in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. This vibrant event will not only celebrate local culture, food, and entertainment but also serve as a crucial fundraiser for those impacted by the recent storm.

Hurricane Helene has left many in our community facing significant challenges, and Fresh Fridays is committed to making a difference. Attendees will enjoy live music, delicious local cuisine from various vendors, and activities for the whole family—all while contributing to a worthy cause.

How You Can Help:

We encourage everyone to donate to All Faiths Food Bank, with all proceeds going directly to affected families and local organizations providing assistance. Donations can be made in person by visiting the Fresh Fridays welcome tent during the event, where attendees can scan a QR code to make their donations.

“We believe in the power of community, and Fresh Fridays is an opportunity for all of us to come together, support one another, and help those who are struggling to recover from Hurricane Helene,” said Joseph Grano, president of Next-Mark, and Fresh Fridays event organizer and promoter. “Let’s turn this event into a beacon of hope and resilience for not only our community of Sarasota but for all who have been impacted by this storm.”
