ImageEach year volunteers representing the local restaurant community host an event called "The Jacksonville FOODFIGHT" that features 50 of Jacksonville's finest restaurants and beverage wholesalers/distributors who come together in friendly competition to "take a bite out of hunger" by raising funds and awareness for Second Harvest North Florida. More than 1,200 guests are tempted to taste everything they see from the glorious variety of the finest foods and spirits displayed throughout two floors of the fabulous Touchdown Club East at EverBank Field. Live musical entertainment and two exciting raffles round out the evening.

The event was started in 1989 by a local committee that has helped build it into one of the premier party experiences on the First Coast each year. Eddie Fink is the committee chairman, while Bob Conrad handles graphic design and Jim Mace manages operations and logistics of the event - including setup and breakdown.

ImageThis year marks the 23rd anniversary of the local event. All proceeds benefit Second Harvest North Florida. Since 1989, the Jacksonville FOODFIGHT has raised more than $1 million in the fight against hunger - a total that translates into more than seven million meals provided for people in need throughout north Florida.
