2020 Franktown Open Hearts Annual Dinner
September 28, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FRANKTOWN OPEN HEARTS TO HOST “WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER” VIRTUAL FUNDRAISING DINNER ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 FROM 7:00- 8 PM CST
ONLINE SILENT AUCTION GOES LIVE ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
Franktown Open Hearts “We’re In This Together” Annual Fundraising Dinner goes virtual. Franktown serves approximately 170 school-age children, living in government-subsidized or low-income housing. They provide a nutritious meal, educational programming, and character-building activities to school-age children weekday afternoons/evenings during the school year; weekdays during the summer months; along with vocational training and experiences on Saturdays throughout the year. Since COVID-19 set in, Franktown has seen a tremendous increase in need – especially with food! We typically serve over 10,000 meals to our children each year.
When schools closed in March, Franktown stepped in to fill that gap, and served over 5,000 meals in that nine-week period alone! And during this time that demand was at an all-time high, Franktown experienced a decrease in budgeted income – including loss of individual, corporate, and church support.
Tuesday, September 29, 2020 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CST . Silent Auction goes LIVE! on Tuesday, September 8, 2020.
ABOUT FRANKTOWN OPEN HEARTS
Founded in 2005, Franktown Open Hearts was originally established to serve children in the inner-city communities of Franklin, TN. Because Franklin and Williamson County are recognized as one of the most affluent areas in the state of Tennessee, most people don’t even realize public housing developments exist in this area. This results in the residents, and particularly the youth, being underserved with regards to social and academic resources.
Franktown Open Hearts provides a nutritious meal, educational programming, and character-building activities to school-age children weekday afternoons/evenings during the school year; weekdays during the summer months; along with vocational training and experiences on Saturdays throughout the year.
