Thank you to each and every sponsor who helped make the 18th annual Chef’s Potluck possible! Because of your generous support, along with ticket sales from our incredible community, we were able to raise over $60,000 to further support our work and mission.

A special thank you to our Co-Presenting Sponsors, The Indigo Road Hospitality Group and David Thompson Studio, as well as our wonderful host, The Porter Room at Holy City Brewing, for helping to bring this unforgettable event to life.

We’re deeply grateful to partner with businesses who believe in celebrating our local food system and supporting impactful community events. ❤️
