Prosser, Wash. — April 10, 2018 — The 2018 Winemakers Loft Food Truck Rally, a benefit for Heartlinks Hospice & Palliative Care on Saturday, April 21, received Title Sponsorship at the $5,000 level from Custom Bottling & Filtering, a mobile bottling company based in Benton City, Washington. Custom Bottling & Filtering’s contribution bolsters the event’s ability to donate significantly to Heartlinks Hospice & Palliative Care, the first rural hospice provider west of the Mississippi River, and the only rural provider of hospice and palliative care to pediatric patients in the state of Washington.
“My contribution to the Winemakers Loft Food Truck Rally is in support of the wine industry in and around Prosser and Heartlinks Hospice, an invaluable community asset throughout Benton and Yakima counties” said Bill Hamlin, owner of Custom Bottling & Filtering. “It is my pleasure to be the Title Sponsor of this great, Prosser event that showcases premium wine production, a day of live music and fresh, local and regional food truck fare, and philanthropy” Hamlin furthered.
Custom Bottling & Filtering emerged in 2008 in response to the growing needs of the Washington wine industry. “Owning one’s own bottling line can be cost prohibitive, especially to the smaller or younger winery. Custom Bottling & Filtering handles the entire bottling line process – from filtering to filling to labeling” explained Hamlin. “I work with the equipment hundreds of days every year and have the advantage of expertise – I understand all the ins and outs of mobile bottling and am able to protect the winemaking process when it comes time to bottle” said Hamlin.
The Winemakers Loft Food Truck Rally is from 10AM – 6PM on Saturday, April 21 at the Winemakers Loft in Prosser, Washington. Tickets are $15, if purchased in advance via the Heartlinks Hospice website, and $20 at the door, the day of the event. Ticket sales to the event are considered a donation to Heartlinks Hospice & Palliative Care. Eight food truck vendors will have small bites and full meals available for purchase. Wine from the four wineries in the Winemakers Loft will be available for purchase. Live music via Into the Drift and a dj will play throughout the day. The event is open to those ages 21+.
