Foodnet Meals on Wheels Hosted Its 2015 Mac ‘n Cheese Bowl

Industry-recognized financial advisor Keefe Gorman serves as a managing director with Merrill Lynch. On top of his responsibilities at Merrill Lynch, Keefe Gorman has held several advisory roles with organizations in his community, including a position on the Board of Directors for Foodnet Meals on Wheels in Tompkins County, New York.

In March, Foodnet hosted another Mac ‘n Cheese Bowl, a community fundraising event that benefits the organization’s efforts to support elderly community members and individuals with disabilities who are unable to shop or cook their own meals. The 2015 event at Ithaca High School featured a wide range of exciting activities for attendees of all ages, including a demonstration on the science and art of pasta from the co-founder of Wide Awake Bakery. For young mac ‘n cheese lovers, Foodnet organized a KidZ Korner, where children could make postcards to accompany the meals that are distributed to Foodnet clients.

A number of first-time Bowl participants, such as Coltivare and Greenstar Cooperative Market, debuted their products at the 2015 event, while other local caterers and restaurants returned to present their wares at the most recent Bowl. For the 2015 Bowl, Foodnet also created a Kid’s Choice Award so children between the ages of 5 and 12 could vote for their preferred mac ‘n cheese dish.
