Join us for an unforgettable evening

At this year’s Annual Lunch Break Gala, we invite you to “Imagine the Possibilities.” Imagine a world without hunger. Imagine no poverty. Imagine a community where hope and love lead the way.

This special evening will honor the real-life changemakers among us, those who have dared to dream of a better world and have taken action to make it real. Their compassion, leadership and tireless dedication remind us that a more just and caring world is not only possible, it’s within reach!

As we gather in celebration and support, let’s come together to imagine the future we can build – one where kindness prevails, no one is left behind and the power of community transforms lives. Join us for a night of hope, recognition, and purpose as we raise vital funds to bring this shared vision to life.
