Welcome to an Evening of Community, Compassion, and Celebration
This year’s gala theme, Spring Into Motion, highlights the power of movement—bringing food, resources, and hope to those who need it most. At FeedNC, we don’t just serve meals—we deliver dignity and opportunity directly to communities.
With the launch of our new food truck and expanded fleet, we can rescue more food and distribute meals where they’re needed most. As we prepare for summer hunger, a time when many children and families face increased food insecurity, we invite you to be part of a compassionate movement that ensures no child goes hungry when school is out.
For years, FeedNC has served over 6,000 individuals annually—including families, older adults, veterans, those facing displacement, and more than 1,800 children. By attending our gala, you’re directly contributing to this vital work, providing hope, dignity, and lasting impact.
An Evening of Unforgettable Experiences
Prepare to indulge in an extraordinary dining experience curated by Chef Brendan alongside our talented Culinary Workforce students. Every dish is designed to delight your palate and showcase the artistry of fresh, seasonal ingredients:
Salad Course: A refreshing medley of mixed greens, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, and toasted garbanzo beans, accented with crumbled feta and drizzled with a vibrant strawberry champagne vinaigrette.
Main Course: Choose from:
Herb-Encrusted Beef Tenderloin: Tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
Broiled Lobster with Lemon Garlic Butter: A luxurious dish that melds succulent lobster with a zesty butter sauce.
Balsamic Portabella Steak: A delightful vegetarian option that’s as hearty as it is delicious.
Accompanying these entrees are thoughtfully prepared sides, including oven-roasted fingerling potatoes, aromatic rice pilaf, maple-roasted Brussels sprouts, and haricot verts garnished with toasted pecans.
Dessert Course: Cap off your meal with an assortment of irresistible sweets—pies, cakes, petit fours, and an array of delicate pastries that promise to enchant your taste buds.
