We continue to expand our food pantry hours and food delivery services to meet the increased demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of the featured musicians for this year\u2019s <em>Hard Times, High Hopes, Helping Hands<\/em> are Kirk Banner, Hot Duck Soup, Hot Club of Buladean, Lucindagail Maynard, Lucky Streak, Ferguson &amp; Northup, Sam McKinney, Susan Scoggins, ShooBees, Symbiosis, and Roberta Whiteside. A silent auction of several dozen handmade and vintage quilts donated from around the country will also be held.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve added some food offerings from two of our business kitchen clients that represent two very sweet success stories,\u201d says Lunari. Thrive Appalachia, a local nonprofit focused on empowering local teens in gaining marketable skills and profits from their products, will be providing ice cream that they make and sell in Rec House\u2019s shared community kitchen, and East Fork Foods, a business startup that began in the Rec House kitchen and will soon open a brick-and-mortar, full-service caf\u00e9 in Bakersville, will offer sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Burnsville Town Center is located at 6 South Main Street, Burnsville.
