Today, BrooklineHub.com announced that the 2nd Annual Feed Brookline Dinner to benefit the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry will be held at local favorite, The Fireplace on Monday, April 29. Doors open at 6pm and a dinner will be served at 7pm.

It was no game when Eureka! Puzzles presented Rene Feuerman, director of the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry, with a check for $2750.00. The Coolidge Corner shop held a raffle with the prize a two boxes of assorted games. Tickets were sold at $1.00 per ticket, $2.00 for 3. 100% of the raffle proceeds benefit the pantry.

"My heart is full."  That is what Rene Feuerman's 8-year old daughter, Olivia, said to her mother after they delivered fifty bags of food to the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry in St. Paul's Episcopal Church. The hefty donation came from a birthday party for Olivia where, in lieu of gifts, guests brought food donations.

Six years ago if you had asked Brookline resident Carol Daddazio if she knew that her town had an emergency food pantry, she would have said no. Hunger was a problem in other places, but certainly not here in Brookline, in the leafy neighborhoods where JFK was born, amongst the residents living in beautiful houses whose prices likely hovered in the half-a-million-dollar range.
