Sept. 19 was a day to celebrate farmers, talented chefs and, most importantly, the shared commitment toward fighting hunger at Food Bank of Delaware’s fundraiser, The Farmer and the Chef.
This event, located at the new 3.5-acre garden in Milford, paired a chef with a farmer to prepare samples using locally grown produce.
“We know that food connects us all,” said Cathy Kanefsky, president and CEO of the Food Bank of Delaware. “Whether it’s grown in our fields or crafted in a kitchen, food brings people together. Tonight, we’re reminded of the incredible work that happens when our community comes together to ensure no one goes without a meal.”
