Scores of local restaurants, caterers, food and beverage vendors lined several spaces of the American Visionary Art Museum to serve up their wares at “Night of a Million Meals.” Bars and food stations filled AVAM’s patio, barn and the Jim Rouse Visionary Center, each offering samples of their specialties.
While the Meals on Wheels of Central Maryland annual fundraiser did bang-up business with some 300 guests who turned out, the million meals of the event’s title weren’t in reference to the party’s food output, but rather the goal of the organization to serve a million meals to homebound adults in the state.
And the more than $200,000 raised at the event would certainly help in that mission.
The culinary explorations began at bars set up outside AVAM’s barn, and food stations inside it, at “Night of a Million Meals.” (Sloane Brown)Beverage stations were set up inside and outside AVAM at “Night of a Million Meals.” (Sloane Brown)
