When: May 30 Where: Happy Hollow Club Why: Pinot, Pigs & Poets benefits the weekend and afterschool food programs of Omaha nonprofit Completely KIDS. Due to the event’s success, Completely KIDS has been able to increase the number of children enrolled in the Weekend Food Program, which provides healthy, childfriendly food to take home every Friday. The weekend and after-school food programs fit within the organization’s mission to educate and empower kids and families to create a safe, healthy, successful and connected community. Completely KIDS is currently undergoing renovation and expansion. Once complete, the agency plans to grow its weekend food program from serving 460 kids to 930 kids over the next few years. Proceeds from Pinot, Pigs & Poets will be instrumental in that growth.
