We're grateful for Ron's kind words about the Chili Dinner success! 🙏

Thank you, Ron, for this heartwarming update.

Serving 700 meals and helping raise over $47,000 for hunger relief efforts makes our hearts (and stomachs) full! 🫶

Knowing that our catering services contributed to providing 88,000 meals for children through organizations like Rise Against Hunger and Dorcas Ministries reminds us why we do what we do.

The Catering By Design team is honored to have played a small part in making such a big impact. This is exactly why we love what we do - food brings people together for causes that matter.

Mark your calendars - we're already looking forward to making next year's Chili Dinner even more successful! 🌶️
