Updated: 10th Annual Wine, Women & Shoes

UPDATE:

ORLANDO, Fla. (March 26, 2020) – Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida is shifting its 10th annual Wine, Women & Shoes Orlando fundraiser into a weeklong virtual experience.

The decision to cancel the April 18 event stems from ongoing efforts to stop the spread of Coronavirus/COVID-19 by adhering to federal and local requests to cancel mass gatherings.

“It’s the socially responsible decision,” said Dave Krepcho, president and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. “This event averages more than 500 attendees annually. We have to do our part in keeping our community safe – and it’s our hope that this new format can attract even more supporters who will help us meet the ever-growing need as many industries experience a significant hit.”

Last year, the event raised $400,000, which allowed Second Harvest to provide 1.6 million meals across Orange, Osceola, Lake, Seminole, Brevard and Volusia counties. Second Harvest hopes to meet – or exceed – that amount with so many neighbors feeling a direct impact of job cuts related to the Coronavirus pandemic. The need is the greatest it’s been since the Great Recession in 2008.

The virtual event will kick off on Monday, April 13 and end Saturday, April 18 at 2:00 p.m.

Virtual “attendees” will still have the chance to bid on items in the silent auction, and one lucky participant will win a dream closet of designer handbags, accessories, clothing, household goods and more, as part of the event’s signature “Key to the Closet” drawing.
