Meals with a Mission, Inclusive Kitchen: Southern Gourmet Showdown

Join us for Meals with a Mission: Southern Gourmet Showdown — a cooking competition with a mission!

Local chef favorites will go head-to-head in a Southern-style culinary showdown. Guests will enjoy an evening filled with flavorful dishes, great music, a bar, silent auction, and more — all while supporting a powerful cause.

This year, we’re aiming to raise $50,000–$100,000 to modernize two existing houses and transform them into licensed group homes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the Albany area. Your support will help us create safe, inclusive housing with 24/7 care and supervision.

About The Arc of Southwest Georgia:Since 1963, The Arc of Southwest Georgia has created life-changing solutions for people with disabilities through advocacy, empowerment, and high-quality support services. We envision a world where individuals of all abilities have the same opportunities, rights, and freedoms as inclusive members of the community.

Join us for a night of Southern flavor, fun, and fundraising — and help us turn houses into homes.
