My Fresh Table Series

My Fresh Table—our year-round healthy cooking program—is the heartbeat behind this fundraiser series. In the program, parents learn simple, budget-friendly recipes, kids gain confidence at the cutting board, —because food doesn’t just feed bodies; it builds community, dignity, and joy.
​
The My Fresh Table Fundraiser Series carries that impact further. Across four seasonal events, we celebrate how food nourishes families, strengthens routines at home, and connects our block to the broader West Side. Each gathering is intentionally designed to meet a different part of the family where they are—together and as individuals. Every event also features fun raffle prizes and opportunities from local partners.
