About This Event
Honoring Our Past, Nourishing Our Future, Moving Forward Together
For 50 years, Center for Food Action has supported neighbors facing hunger and financial hardship, and none of that work would have been possible without the community that has stood beside us.
Join us as we celebrate five decades of service, recognize the people and partnerships that have helped shape CFA’s story, and look ahead to the work still to come.
The evening will feature a cocktail reception, plated dinner, and awards presentation as we honor CFA’s legacy and the supporters, volunteers, partners, and community members who continue to advance our mission.
