Our signature fundraiser, Diced in Dayton, is an interactive, food-filled event that showcases and celebrates the creativity of local chefs as they craft unique dishes from a set of mystery ingredients.
Thank you to the amazing chefs that donated their time and talent as well as our compassionate sponsors, supporters and volunteers!
Our theme for 2023 was "mise en place," a culinary term for putting things in place—something we have been very focused on over the past year. As we grow to meet our community's needs, it is important that our foundation is solid and that processes and procedures are in place so that we may grow with intention and remain true to our mission.
We would love for you to check it out and see how your support has helped us feed the need here in Dayton.
What began as a volunteer initiative during the pandemic quickly evolved into a full-time operation serving thousands of meals per month.
We create free chef-prepared meals in bulk for distribution through organizations that feed the hungry in Dayton.
