(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) An evening of Italian cuisine for a good cause filled up Luna's Fine Dining on Saturday.
 
Second Harvest Community Food Bank hosted a fundraising event at the private eatery.

More than thirty people showed up in support of the food bank.

Guests dined through four courses of unique Italian foods, and fine wines were donated by the St. James Winery.

The event will bring in close to $1,000 to kick off the annual fund campaign.

"This is all part of our food justice movement that we will be kicking off next Saturday in Rockport, Missouri. This is all part of a lot of events that we will have in the next 3-4 months that are all centered around our Food Justice Movement," said Tamara Grubb, Chief Operating Officer of Second Harvest.

The annual fund campaign kickoff in Rockport next weekend will feature free food and a concert by Jason Riley.
