Thank you for making Plates With a Purpose such a memorable evening!

From the artists who crafted over 100 beautiful plates, to the guests who gathered around the table in support, this event was a celebration of creativity and community.

We extend our deepest thanks to Inner Banks Hotline for being our partner in this effort. Your dedication to serving our community inspires us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate.

Together, we proved that art brings people to the table — and makes a difference.
