(The following news release was provided verbatim by Crooked Eye Brewery)
The Crooked Eye Brewery, located at 13 E Montgomery Avenue, #2, Hatboro, Pa., will be rocking for a special fundraiser benefitting the Warminster Food Bank on Sunday, June 7 from 2-7 p.m. The event will feature performances by local bands JAB, Swampy Jonez, Blue Flame 6, Krimson Cirkus, and Shakin Not Stirred. Silvio’s Deli, located next door to the brewery, will be open with a limited menu from 3-6 p.m. for this event.
Donations of non-perishable food items will be gratefully accepted and a donor has purchased $500 in Silvio’s Deli gift certificates to provide a $10 gift certificate to each attendee that brings at least one large grocery bag of donations. Event T-Shirts will be available for $20, along with a 50/50 raffle drawing and an Eagles season ticket raffle.
Food items collected will help provide monthly groceries and supplies for families in need in Bucks and Montgomery Counties. The Warminster Food Bank serves over 10,000 people a year in Bucks and Montgomery Counties and 95 percent of the monetary donations received are used to provide groceries and other necessities to local residents experiencing food insecurity.
Last year, the food bank opened a new and more convenient location at 495 E. County Line Road, Hatboro, Pa., situated in the Town & Country Shopping Center. This move was necessitated by the increased demand for their services and lack of sufficient space at their previous location where they had operated in the Warminster Heights community for over 60 years.
“For many of our neighbors facing food insecurity, the summer months can be especially difficult when school is out and children lose access to free meals,” said Mike Cerino, executive director, Warminster Food Bank. “We invite the community to come together for great food, beer, and music —while also making a meaningful impact, by donating non-perishable items to help ease the burden for local families in need.”
“Paul, Jeff and I are local guys who wanted to provide a space for folks to enjoy craft beer, good food and good music,” said Paul Hogan, co-owner of Crooked Eye Brewery. “We also want to help out the community whenever we can. When the opportunity came up to host a fundraiser for the Warminster Food Bank, we were happy to step up. We are very proud that Crooked Eye Brewery can contribute to and host this event.”
