Stewpot’s Annual Business & Professional Leaders Luncheon allows our donors to learn about the current work of Stewpot to address critical needs in our community such as food insecurity, housing instability, and homelessness.
Each year, a local community figure speaks at the luncheon, and friends of Stewpot gather together to share fellowship and a meal. Hosts of the luncheon provide a $1,000 sponsorship to support the various ministries of Stewpot. In recognition of their generous contribution, their name is listed in the Stewpot newsletter, social media, website, and on the event program.
Our hosts' generous donations and support make it possible for Stewpot to adequately fund all of our ministries.
