On March 4, Harvest Regional Food Bank hosted its 16th annual Wine and Jazz Gala at the historic Silvermoon on Broad. Food and wine was enjoyed as Candace Taylor & Trio provided musical entertainment. Presented by TEXAR Federal Credit Union, the event honored Norma Durrant, founder of the Wine & Jazz Gala.

Expertly selected wines were paired with gourmet dishes prepared by local chefs Jennifer Tanner, Julie’s Deli & Market; Bri James, Twisted Fork; Hector Jimenez, Verona; Darby Neaves, Naaman’s Championship BBQ; and Becky Williams, Benchmark American Brasserie. The evening also featured a premier silent auction and a live painting by Texarkana artist, Joseph Raymond.

All proceeds benefit the hunger relief programs of Harvest Regional Food Bank which serves over 60,000 individuals in 10 counties each year through a network of nearly 100 partner agencies, pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens.
