Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – Native Brew Works’ fourth annual Friendsgiving benefitting the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas is set for November.

According to a news release from Native Brew Works, Friendsgiving is set to take place Nov. 10, with two dining times: 5 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.

The event will take place at Native Brew Works; however, Jonesboro-based restaurants The Parsonage, Southern Confections, and The Rec Room will also be partnering to help provide a Thanksgiving meal.

“We are excited to partner with our friends again this year to produce another great Friendsgiving event in our community,” Jackson Spencer, Native co-owner said in the release. “We are honored to partner with local businesses we admire, and to use this opportunity to raise funds and awareness for the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas before heading into the holiday season.”

Those wishing to participate must purchase tickets. Presale dine-in tickets are $35 per plate until Oct. 31, then increase to $40 per plate starting Nov. 1. The release said purchasing a ticket by Oct. 31 would guarantee one.

Tickets are limited, and the event is for those 21 and over. Drinks are not included with tickets.

All profits from tickets sold will benefit the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas.

“Friendsgiving is more than a fundraiser, it’s a reminder of the power of community,” Rebecca Hendrix, chief development officer at the Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas, said in the release. “When we gather around the table with friends and neighbors, we’re not just sharing a meal, we’re making sure families across Northeast Arkansas can share one too.”
