On the first Saturday of December, FCC hosts a Festival of Food Creations and a Christmas Fair.
For the Festival, individuals and community groups make wonderful creations out of food and then people are invited to come see them and vote for their favorite with money. All money raised at the Festival of Food Creation is donated to St. Vincent DePaul Homeless Shelter.
At the Christmas Fair, there is shopping at the Holiday Boutique and Bake Sale, free pictures with Santa, free children's crafts to make and take home, and lots of fun to be had!
The Festival of Food Creations invites individuals and organizations to make a creation out of food items to exhibit to benefit the mission of St. Vincent DePaul as they worked with people around housing issues.
The creations will be displayed on Saturday, December 5th from 10am-2pm in FCC’s Atrium. The public will be invited to come see the displays, and vote with change and dollars for their favorite. The display that earns the most donations will be awarded the People’s Choice award. All of the money donated will support St. Vincent DePaul’s programs. St. Vincent De Paul is an emergency shelter in Bristol for men, women, and children providing food, shelter, case management, and referral services.
Food Creations will need to be delivered and set up on Friday, December 4th from 6-8pm or Saturday, December 5th from 9am-10am. Individuals/ Organization representatives do not need to stay with their display throughout the festival. Organizations are encouraged to bring brochures and information to display with their creation.
Applications are due by Friday, November 20th. Questions contact Kristen Kleiman, Kristen@FirstChurchBristol.org
