Great Golf. Great Cause.
Join us for the 25th Annual “Driving Away Hunger” Golf Tournament on Monday, May 6th, 2019 at the Golf Club at Ballantyne.
Each weekday our volunteers deliver a friendly greeting and a nutritious meal to more than 700 of your neighbors. These recipients are no longer able to prepare their own meal due to age or infirmity. Many of them would be forced into far more costly assisted living facilities except for these meal deliveries.
While golfers who play this tournament enjoy the beautiful Ballantyne Resort course, they also know that their donation will feed neighbors throughout the year. Please join us on April 30th as a sponsor or as a golfer.
Schedule: Check-in begins at 11:00 a.m. on Monday,May 6 at the Golf Club at Ballantyne. Shotgun start is at noon. An awards dinner will follow golf at the pavilion on the course.

Since 1976 our mission at Friendship Trays has been to deliver nutritious meals to elderly or infirm individuals in the Charlotte community who are unable to obtain or prepare their own meals. We cook and courier a meal to the doorstep of over 700 recipients. But we deliver so much more than that. We deliver human connection to those that are isolated and lonely. We deliver peace of mind to the families of our recipients. It’s so much more than a meal.
