Food Connection gets creative and pivots annual fundraiser

Chefs in Action is a chance to taste some of the delicious chef-prepared food that was once ending up in the trash, but now thanks to Food Connection, is being rescued and delivered to feed our neighbors in need. Eight of our donor/chef partners will be preparing small plates in stations throughout the venue. You'll have a chance to interact with each one of them and ask them about the impact of Food Connection.
