The Smithtown Community Rallies around the SCF Community Table

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. - Nov. 4, 2022 - PRLog -- Despite Covid's devastating impact, hiring issues, and rising food costs, over two dozen culinary businesses have committed to participate in this grand tasting fundraising event.  Proceeds will aid local families in crisis.

Christine Fitzgerald, Co-Founder of the Smithtown Children's Foundation, reports, "We are overwhelmed by the generosity of businesses from every hamlet located within the Town of Smithtown. To date, we have over two dozen culinary businesses putting their best food forward at the Community Table event."

Local donations for prizing at the SCF Community Table include a diamond ring donated by Markar Jewelers retailing at $3,850. Smithtown residents Vincenzo Saulle and Rich Albano contributed a wine-making session at Wine U Design (Hicksville) and an overnight stay at Smithtown's historic Mansion at Ebo Hill, respectively.  The Scotto Brothers presented an overnight stay at The Inn at Fox Hollow.

The Community Table will have over 60 baskets donated by local businesses, including La Vida of Smithtown, Uncle Giuseppe's of Smithtown, Mannino's  (Commack), Maia Salon, Husk and Vine, Legends Bar and Grill, Up In Smoke, Maureen's, Touch of Class Car Wash, Villa Sorrento, Florie's  Finales and many more.

The featured silent auction includes TRAVEL!  3 – 5 day/ 2 – 4 night stays in Palm Harbor, FL; Palmetto Bluff, SC; Savannah, GA; Pebble Beach, Sonoma, and Los Cabos, CA;  Scottsdale, AZ; Boston, MA; and NYC.  Also, sports memorabilia will be available for bidding.

"One of our goals this year is to help every business lending a hand in making the Community Table grand tasting a success.  This year a significant effort is driven by SCF to build awareness of those businesses through promotion and introducing them to Smithtown high school's Industry Advisory Board for potential internship and hiring needs.  It's a win for the entire community!" states Nancy Vallarella, SCF board member and event coordinator.
