The biggest event the Food Bank of NCA organizes is the annual Bridge Bash, now in its eighth year.

Food Bank of NCA Development Officer Susan Stockton says part of the reason Bridge Bash has continued over the years is the community support, and this year several area business are hosting give-back nights in honor of the event.
