Your participation in Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue’s Dining for Good fundraising event will support our important work to feed hungry bellies with healthy food that would otherwise go to waste, along with our efforts to build awareness about wasted food and hunger. In the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area, more than 90,000 children, seniors and families experience hunger regularly. At the same time, the EPA estimates that over one-third of the food produced is wasted. You can be part of the solution at this fundraising event.
Participants will enjoy a gourmet meal including a surprise curated from “rescued food.” Guests will purchase chances at great raffle prizes and help fund-a-need in support of Saving Grace’s important mission.
