Meals on Wheels Durham held its
fifth annual Feed the Need Gala at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club on Feb. 17. More than 200 supporters enjoyed a cocktail hour, three-course dinner, silent and live auctions and a paddle raise with auctioneer Scott Williams over the course of the evening. The celebration culminated on the dance floor with live music by Irresistible Groove. The event raised $156,322, which will go toward delivering meals and providing other life-enhancing services for Durham’s homebound older adults. 5
