Happy Hour for Hope at Marco Island Brewery April 25th

Marco Island Meals of Hope confirmed today its first 2023 “Happy Hour for Hope” will be Tuesday, April 25, 2023, at Marco Island Brewery, Marco Island Towne Center from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

“Marco Island Brewery is a big supporter of Meals of Hope,” explained Bill Morris, Chairman of Meals of Hope. “They are hosting this event to give back to our community and will be providing appetizers as a donation. Everybody knows how good their food is.” 

The restaurant is opening late solely to host the event.

Morris explained, “Our Happy Hours are a great time to socialize and help us raise funds. They are crucial to our success. I hope to see a great turnout.” Admission fee this year is only $20.

Live entertainment will be provided by Jersey John, Entertainer, DJ and Karaoke.

Happy Hours for Hope are fundraisers for Marco Island’s Meals of Hope. The admission fee helps the organization buy food for its packaging event in November. Happy Hours for Hope raise about $8,000 each year. The packaging event in November has a budget of $60,000. Morris explained, “These events are an important part of our funding, but we still need a huge amount of donations.” 

This event will be staffed by volunteers from Marco Island Noontime Rotary. Marco Meals of Hope is a joint effort of Kiwanis, Noontime Rotary and Sunrise Rotary Clubs. It is a hands-on approach to combating hunger in our community. Volunteers work year-round raising funds for its packaging event at Marco Island Charter Middle School. Last year, volunteers packed over 200,000 meals for distribution through the Meals of Hope distribution network. This year’s packaging event is tentatively scheduled on November 18, 2023.

Admission to Happy Hour for Hope is only $20 and everyone is invited. The events are open to the public, snowbirds, residents and those just passing through.
