Thanks to your incredible support, the 4th annual Date with a Plate by The Women’s Giving Circle exceeded our $30,000 goalwe raised more than $35,000 for the Agua Fria Food and Clothing Bank! The Silent Auction and raffle sales were especially strong, and enthusiastic bidding pushed us past our target.

Guests enjoyed beautiful tablescapes, live music, light hors d’oeuvres, sweets, and a spirited auction. We’re grateful to our table exhibitors, committee members, volunteers, donors, and bidders for making this possible.

Special thanks to our sponsors: Diamond Arnold Hickey PHX Pro Realty; our Platinum Sponsors Mariana ChavezState Farm Agent and Osborne Jewelers; and Gold Sponsors Al’s Plumbing, Earnhardt Honda, and Kathleen and Tyler CooleyWest USA Realty. Please support all of our sponsors whenever possible.

A special thank you to Frank Datzer for the event video that beautifully showcased the Food Bank’s work.

Together we’ve made a meaningful difference for families, children, and seniors facing food insecurity in the West Valley. Thank you to everyone who helped make Date with a Plate such an unforgettable success!
