BLOWING ROCK, N.C. – Nov. 10, 2022 – For the first time since 2019, Casting Bread hosted its Celebration Dinner and Auction at Blowing Rock Conference Center on November 3. Over 100 attendees joined the festivities, which included chances to bid on private chef experiences, local art, and an eye-catching area rug from The Rug Company, among other items. Guests also purchased entries for a raffle that featured hand-carved wood servings and décor pieces, original artwork, photography on aluminum, and many other treasures. Blowing Rock Conference Center served a delicious meal before the first-ever Janet Specht Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to Jason Wood.
The evening’s event raised nearly $20,000 to help fulfill Casting Bread’s vision to increase food security in the High Country. “We feel blessed to be surrounded by so many who love and support the work we do to provide food, compassion, and community,” shared Diann Miller, Casting Bread’s operations manager.
