Food for all. Hunger for none.
Fifty years ago, a community came together to help people put nutritious food on the table. Since then, thousands upon thousands of people have pitched in at Metro Caring to ensure there is truly food for all. As we work toward the future our community envisions, it’s time for 50 years of hunger for none.
We invite you to our celebratory dinner and fundraiser in a stunning new location with extended festivities. We’ll commemorate 50 years of our mission and celebrate a future without hunger through powerful stories, recognition of change-making leaders, and a culinary tour of diverse foods and refreshments from around our community.
