Pittsfield Education Foundation Hosts “Food for Thought” Fundraiser
The Pittsfield Education Foundation has been forced to get creative with its fundraiser efforts this year.
The PEF is a grassroots community organization founded and comprised of local educators and community activists who seek to provide opportunities for students and teachers to achieve their greatest potential. Like many other non-profits, the group has been forced to pivot its means of raising money due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In years past the group has hosted beer and wine tastings, dine to donates, and other events that bring people together in large groups. This year, in keeping in a dine to donate theme, has teamed up with local food purveyor KJ Nosh to create 'Nosh Boxes'. Think Dine to Donate, but take out.
Each Nosh Box is $40 and contains an assortment of hors d’oeuvre style cuisine specially prepared by Chef Mike Mongeon. Nosh Box Dinners serve two people and can be pre-ordered now through Sunday, May 9. Then on Friday, May 14, your order can be picked up at KJ Nosh, located at 339 Tyler Street, Pittsfield between 4:30 PM and 6:30 PM. Pickup will be drive-thru style, so customers can in their vehicle and masked PEF volunteers will bring orders out. Several “car door” prizes will be awarded.
