10th Annual Dishin' for Hunger

Columbus has been consistently identified as a national hotspot for rising and established chefs, as well as for top of the line dining options.  The annual Dishin' for Hunger event is a collaborative effort between local celebrity chefs and campus-area food pantry Neighborhood Services, Inc.  The evening will be emceed by Scott Light, former 10TV News Anchor and host of "Face the State". 

Dishin' for Hunger is an evening of culinary creations and tastings - watch celebrity chefs demonstrate and serve some of their favorite recipes, enjoy tastings, connect with other foodies, and learn about and support Neighborhood Services, Inc (NSI).  NSI has worked in the community for 56 years with the goal of alleviating hunger; providing food assistance and connecting those in need with useful resources. Parking is provided at the Ohio Union with ticket purchase - and following Ohio State University policies, we are requiring all guests to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.  Face masks must be worn unless actively eating or drinking. The evening will also feature a cash bar, and unique silent auction items with proceeds directly benefitting NSI.

Each year, Dishin' for Hunger helps NSI kick off the bustling holiday season - a particularly busy and important time for the pantry and the neighbors who frequent it.  You can help support our cause in the form of ticket purchases, extra donations, and auction bids.  If you or your business are interested in partnering with NSI to help feed hungry neighbors in the Columbus area, please consider joining us for this event or even contributing monthly as a partner.
