Food nourishes for a day. These stories of dignity, community, connection, and innovation can nourish for a lifetime.

Our Food Fight fundraiser is a culinary competition that lasts for one incredible day. But its story—and its impact—have an infinite shelf life. The funds it raises, the community spirit it ignites, and the awareness it builds are the ingredients that nourish our mission long after the final dish is served.
