Jam City 2026

Food for Thought's signature fundraising event brings together 15 of the best local restaurants and chefs that Toledo has to offer, each one creating and serving their own gourmet take on the lunchtime classic: Peanut Butter & Jelly. Guests will have an opportunity to sample dishes from each participating restaurant and cast their vote for Most Creative, Best Presentation, and the overall winner, Grand Jam-pion! Some of the past restaurants that have competed in this fun event are: Balance, Registry Bistro, Ye Olde Durty Bird, Mancy’s, Adams St. Cafe, Deets, and many more!

There will also be signature cocktails, a silent auction, 50/50 raffle, photo booth, music, and more featured throughout the evening. Don't miss out on a fun evening all to benefit the important work of Food for Thought. Since 2007 Food for Thought has been feeding the Greater Toledo area via a weekend lunch program targeting the homeless and 10 mobile food pantry locations serving any family in need. In 2025, Food for Thought provided groceries for more than 25,000 people and served more than 13,000 PB&J lunches! Your support of this event ensures continued service with dignity and respect to anyone in need.
