\"Accurate<\/a>
\nThough most families will be sitting down for a big meal during Thanksgiving next week, 19.1 percent of Arizonans are living in food insecurity and 29.9 percent of Arizonan children facing hunger. So this holiday season, SASSI of North Scottsdale partners with St. Mary\u2019s Food Bank Alliance to help fight hunger locally. \u201cThis holiday season Sassi will host thousands of guests sharing in the spirit of this special time of year with friends and family,\u201d says Sassi general manager, Stephen Plunkett. \u201cBy creating this special dish and partnering with St. Mary\u2019s Food Bank we can make a difference in making sure no Arizonan goes hungry this holiday season.”
\nThroughout the month of December, proceeds from a special holiday dish created by Sassi’s Executive Chef Chris Nicosia will benefit St. Mary\u2019s Food Bank. SASSI and St. Mary\u2019s will also host a special holiday fundraiser dinner with St. Mary\u2019s on Dec. 11. In order to help St. Mary\u2019s in their cause of fighting hunger in Arizona, Sassi will be donating $5 of every order of Butternut Squash Risotto to St. Mary\u2019s throughout the month of December. (With just $25, St. Mary\u2019s is able to provide 175 people with meals.)
\nSassi will also be hosting a special holiday fundraiser dinner on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 6 p.m. in conjunction with St. Mary\u2019s. This holiday event will feature a buffet of lasagne, salad, gelato, cookies, and beverages with proceeds going towards St. Mary\u2019s Food Bank. St. Mary\u2019s staff will also stand in as honorary servers to thank the community. Guests are also encouraged to bring a bag of non-perishable food to be donated to St. Mary\u2019s. www.sassi.biz<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Though most families will be
