Manzanita Grocery and Deli, otherwise known as the Little Apple, sponsors the event, providing all of the food. North County Food Bank volunteers dish up hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, drinks, and desserts to residents, second homeowners, and tourists surprised to find a free meal while walking down Laneda Ave.
While there is no specific charge at the door, the event is a fundraiser for the North County Food Bank, and attendees are encouraged to donate money or non-perishable foods. North County Food Bank faces particular challenges this year as the organization must move from its long-time home at the old Wheeler Hospital. The Food Bank appreciates the generosity of both Chung and Judy Lee, owners of the Little Apple, and all those who contribute to help keep North County residents free from hunger. If you can’t make it to the picnic but would like to donate, you can send a check to NCFB, PO Box 162, Wheeler, OR 97147 or donate on the website.
