Operation Give Back

North Fork Event Company Inc., the production company that started the North Meets South Farms, Food & Drink Festival, launched Operation Give Back, an initiative that promotes and provides financial assistance to small, local businesses effected by COVID-19. It also aims to showcase appreciation for first responders currently on the front lines of the pandemic.

Operation Give Back is a country-wide effort executed on a localized level — think big, act small. Sales from custom-made apparel honoring frontline heroes goes toward purchasing gift cards from small businesses and then given to first responder agencies in the area. The trickle-down system works to boost economic development and financial stability.

Shirt sales start at $20. To purchase, visit www.northforkevent.com.
