Laguna Food Pantry’s May 19 PantryPalooza will help neighbors in need

The Laguna Food Pantry will rock downtown with its third annual PantryPalooza happy hour fundraiser with live music by The Agave Bros. on Friday, May 19 from 5 – 7 p.m. at the White House Restaurant, 340 South Coast Highway, Laguna Beach. Tickets are $75 and include food and a drink, available at www.lagunafoodpantry.org. Guests must be 21 or older.

Opportunity drawing tickets will be sold to win two valuable prizes: a two-night stay at the Montage Laguna Beach with dinner at The Loft (value $1,600) and a three-course dinner for two at Splashes at the Surf & Sand Resort.

The Agave Bros. is a Laguna Beach band formed by musicians who have been playing together and separately for years. Members include Bob Campion on lead vocals, Santi Pierini, guitars and vocals, Geoff Glass, bass, Russell Pierce on drums and Steve Reid on percussion. The band plays danceable rock from the ‘60s to current hits. The Agave Bros. put their own spin on music from The Beatles, Rolling Stones, U2, Santana, Ryan Adams, Bowie, and Pink Floyd, with some Motown thrown in. Guests are likely to hear musical gems they haven’t heard played live in ages.

Every weekday, Laguna Food Pantry provides free, fresh, nutritious groceries to 300 low-income families. Half of those families include babies and children. Located at 20652 Laguna Canyon Road north of the Dog Park, the Pantry is open from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Monday through Friday. New volunteers are always welcome.
