Fall Festival Harvests Help for Crofton Food Pantry
Games and contests drew $225 in community donations.
Scores of community families turned out for a Fall Festival with a purpose Saturday at Roundz Gourmet Market in Gambrills. Three hours of carnival games, pumpkin carving and face painting brought in $225 in donations for the Crofton Food Pantry.
“This event was just as we envisioned,” said Chef Zachary Pope, a Crofton resident and owner of Roundz Gourmet Market. “We wanted a fun celebration for the community and we wanted to do something to help local families in need. We have partnered with Crofton Food Pantry in previous events and feel very good about their work in their area.”
The Roundz Fall Festival featured carnival-style games and a pumpkin carving/decorating contest. Donations were accepted with all monies collected going directly to the Crofton Food Pantry.
