ECHO (Everyone Cooperating to Help Others), in Janesville WI, held a fundraiser on Saturday evening, September 24, 2016, at the Janesville Country Club. MacFarlane Pheasants donated the pheasant for this \u201cCulinary Delight\u201d and Chef Kevin Halpin created pheasant hors d\u2019oeuvres consisting of breaded pheasant pieces, cold pheasant salad bites, and pheasant pizza. The dinner included a honey pan fried pheasant breast with a spicy sauce that was out of this world. Steak, salad, vegetables and cheesecake completed this delicious meal. This culinary delight raised some much needed funds for community members who are struggling with basic needs.<\/p>\n

A silent auction was held from 6-7 p.m. while hors d\u2019oeuvres were enjoyed.\u00a0 Many friends of ECHO donated gifts to be auctioned, that ranged from Bucks tickets to a Harley Davidson cooler. Guests included ECHO supporters from all walks of life. It didn\u2019t surprise me to see many of the ECHO volunteers in attendance. Their big hearts lead them to do the daily work needed to serve Janesville’s low income children and families and to attend events that contribute to the funds that provide the many needed services.<\/p>\n

Many people know about ECHO\u2019s work to provide a food pantry for low income people. What is less well known is that the money from this and other fundraisers, and donations from the community pay for much more than food:<\/p>\n
