We certainly couldn't do it without our community partners, like you, food donors and volunteers. It takes a village and we live in a pretty special one!

We're continually amazed by the work of our friends at Cultivate Food Rescue, but on this World Food Day, we wanted to make sure that you were amazed to. Read our story about how Cultivate intends to wipe out local food insecurity and the even bigger plans that come after that:

She did it again!! 😂

Chef April brought home 2nd Place in the People’s Choice Award at the 28th Annual Michiana Chili Cook-Off!

With 21 booths competing and around 1,000 people coming through Ironworks Plaza, we’ll gladly take it — especially since this makes four years in a row Chef April has finished second!

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, sampled the chili and voted for Cultivate Food Rescue.

And we couldn’t do it without great people behind the scenes! Pictured with Chef April is Linda Jamieson, a six-year Cultivate volunteer, helping out in the kitchen.
