News & Events

"Bourbon 'N Blues" is a Spring Concert series taking place at Rooster's Southern Kitchen, where you may enjoy the musical stylings of Mojo Collins & Triple Vision as they croon their classic and jazzy blues tunes. Mojo Collins, a fourth-generation North Carolinian singer and songwriter, has been performing for over six decades and has opened for big names like Fleetwood Mac, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, Steve Miller and many more. Mojo Collins & Triple Vision are ready to bring the Outer Banks community an evening to remember.

Each ticket includes exclusive reserved seating, a flight of world-class Jefferson's Bourbons, and a choice from Chef Levy's French Quarter-inspired tapas menu. A portion of the ticket proceeds benefit a local non-profit each month. Beach Food Pantry is the beneficiary in March. Seating starts at 6p and the music will play from 6:30-9:30p.

Bourbon 'N Blues is hosted by Rooster's Southern Kitchen and is sponsored by First Bank and Jefferson's Bourbons. For more information, please visit Rooster's website at www.roosterssouthernkitchen.com

This summer food program provides healthy, free meals to registered school-age children and teens. Eligible families will receive food on a weekly basis while kids are out of school.

Special thanks to the Outer Banks Hospital, Outer Banks Community Foundation and Surf Pediatrics and Medicine for their generous financial support of this program.

Every year, our community has generously provided traditional sides and trimmings to help Beach Food Pantry clients have a Thanksgiving meal.

About four years ago, we did something different. We asked our community to donate Thanksgiving Meal Bags that were distributed to current Beach Food Pantry clients the week prior to Thanksgiving. The response was amazing!

The food-filled grocery bags included a donated turkey - or a gift card to purchase one - along with items for a traditional holiday meal. We are so grateful for a community of individuals and businesses who offer support throughout the year to help us end hunger in Dare County.

This year, we will be collecting bags on Friday, November 15th from 12PM-6PM. Use the list below to fill one bag or gather family and friends together to fill more!

The First Look Reception, sponsored by Social House Vodka, is your opportunity to see the chefs that will be competing in the Beach Food Pantry's 6th Annual Holiday Chef's Challenge in the heat of the battle! This more intimate Reception is held during the 60-minutes the chefs have to prepare a dish using ingredients commonly distributed to our clients.

While you are watching the chefs perfect their art, you'll also get to enjoy special cocktails utilizing NC's #1 Craft Vodka, Social House. Their vodka is made from corn, so it's gluten-free! And, all of the products they use to create their spirits are 100% sourced from NC. To attend this premier event, please purchase a VIP Ticket today!
