A wide variety of wines will be presented by Balistreri Winery, Spero Winery, Creekside Cellers, Turquise Mesa Winery and more. Learn about rich Merlots and vibrant Cabernets, refreshing Rieslings, floral Viogniers and expressive Chardonnays. A sampling of appetizers and desserts, generously donated by local restaurants and volunteers, will compliment the wines.
Continue your holiday shopping at the silent auction. Generous community businesses and individuals have donated an abundant array of silent auction items that includes dining and entertainment certificates, spa packages, sports certificates, theater tickets, golf packages, gift baskets, jewelry, art and other affordable items.

In 2008 a large tent was added to the Egg Shell restaurant, attracting more than 240 guests who helped raise over $6,000 for the Arvada Community Food Bank. The mission of the Food Bank is to provide emergency food and supplies to needy persons living in the northern section of Jefferson County. All of the supplies are received through donations from businesses, schools, organizations, churches, and individuals. With the current economy, their needs are greater than ever.
The Arvada Community Food Bank opened in 1982 through the efforts of Arvada churches, the Arvada Resources for Ministry and Spirit, the Arvada Human Services Department and the Arvada Community Resources Association.
The Arvada Community Food Bank is located at 8555 W. 57th Ave. For more information call 303.424.6685 or go online to www.arvadacommunityfoodbank.org.
