On November 30th 2012 Food For Folks together with Music First and Aboriginal Youth Opportunities hosted a fundraising social in the in the North End of Winnipeg named: Block Rocking Beets. It was a successful night with around 100 people enjoying the activities throughout the course of the night.
This event was complete with live music, DJ's, guest speakers, an Eat Street Zine making activity, a farmers' market with local vegetables and a crokinole tournament with 9 teams of 18 players.
The event took place at the Winnipeg Polish Canadian Legion on 1135 Main Street, one of the many classy old halls in the North End of Winnipeg.
Aside from raising funds and connecting the interestes of food security with the local music scene, a big part of vision with food security socials is to rent out some of the many classy old halls in the North End of Winnipeg that are not ever seen by the majority of Winnipeggers.
