JM Stock Steps In to Help Area’s Hungry
by Charlottesville29
The Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions of 2016 showcased the generosity of not just our area’s restaurants, but also others in the community, as one business after another volunteered to help the cause. In the end, with all proceeds benefiting the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, the outpouring of generosity created more than 315,000 meals for the area’s hungry.
Now, yet another business has stepped in to help. The original auction item for Beer Run – The Ultimate Sausage Fest and Beer Class – was to include an over-the-top platter of charcuterie and sausages from The Rock Barn, to wash down with special beers selected by Josh Hunt and Hunter Smith. After The Rock Barn closed, however, and the auction experience was delayed until this weekend, another award-winning butcher – JM Stock Provisions – offered to take its place. The Beer Run auction was won by a group who bid $1,500, creating more than 6,000 meals for the area’s hungry. Thank you, JM Stock, for getting 2018 off to a great start.
Update: Good news! You can win a chance to attend this rare event just by donating $5 to the food bank. Details here.
