Georgians who may be feeling the post-holiday blues will have a chance to perk up for some great food and an even better cause on the eve of the upcoming state legislative session.

The premier legislative kick-off event, Feeding Georgia’s Wild Hog Supper, is set to return on Sunday with guests able to devour tasty barbecue and all the assorted trimmings while mixing it up with state officials. The historic Georgia Freight Depot will again serve as the backdrop to the 61st annual fundraiser taking place in the evening before lawmakers resume their regular bill-passing business inside the state Capitol over the coming winter months.  

The Wild Hog Supper is sponsored by the statewide food bank, the Georgia Department of Agriculture and state Senate and House agriculture committee members in order to raise funds for a program that has resulted in farmers donating millions of pounds of fresh produce annually to feed families in need across the state.
