We're pleased to partner with the @alamedafoodbank

We're pleased to partner with the @alamedafoodbank for tonight's Whiskey Stroll! $1 from each ticket sold will go directly to the Alameda Food Bank, which they can then use to buy $7 worth of food for our community. There will also be a cash tip jar at each pouring station for donations.

Founded in 1977, the Alameda Food Bank helps our community by providing nourishing food to those in need in a compassionate and respectful manner. While donations and volunteering decrease considerably after the holiday season, the need for nutritious food in our community doesn't end. Kindly consider making a donation to support their vital work. 84% of the Alameda Food Bank's funding comes from individuals like you.

To ✨highlight✨ the Alameda Food Bank's important work we will offer our guests these flashy & blinky apple shaped pins (swipe for peek 🍎) to wear during the event, so you can easily see anyone strolling around town who is participating! And even if you're not attending the event tonight, you can still make a meaningful contribution at alamedatoodbank.org. Thank you! ❤️ #downtownalameda #alamedastrolls

T-2 days until the SOLD OUT Whiskey Stroll! 🥃 Our host venues will be prepared for your arrival with a tasting of craft whiskey, plus a food pairing at select locations. Maybe you have been to a few of these local businesses already, or maybe not. Either way, the Whiskey Stroll this Friday evening is a great way to discover new places and support our local businesses in the district. And all host venues are within easy walking - or strolling - distance. 😉

Stop by @alleyandvine to sample Baller Single Malt Whiskey from our island’s own @stgeorgespirits. 🥃 It’s crisp and dry with a touch of smoke and stone fruit, making it a lovely pairing for @alleyandvine’s Macanese Prawn Toast with yuzu-meyer lemon kewpie, sesame, soft herbs and crispy shallots. Delicious! 😋 They will also have cocktails for sale if you’re feeling extra thirsty…

See you all Friday evening! Cheers! 🥃 #downtownalameda #alamedastrolls
