Please join us for our third annual "Coffee & Conversation" fundraiser, emceed by Jeff Bundy of Hearst Media and hosted by Compass Group at Johnson and Wales University.

You're invited to a fun and interactive discussion about the critical need to rescue surplus, freshly prepared meals to reduce food waste and feed the hungry. You'll gain powerful insights into Feeding Charlotte's mission and programming, including why this work is so important, how it is done, and the impact we are making in our community. 

You'll hear firsthand from Dr. Shenique Carmichael, Founder and President of Leah’s Hopes and Dream (LHD), one of our food recipient partners, who will share how her organization can consistently distribute food to homeless communities through partnership with Feeding Charlotte.

Coffee and pastries will be provided. We hope you’ll join us for a morning filled with great conversations, a chance to meet new people and to help us expand our ability to show our neighbors that “Food is Love, not Waste.” 

Huge thanks to our event hosts, Johnson and Wales Dining and Compass Group, and to our gold sponsors Kalie Koivisto of Cottingham Chalk, The Estate of Herbert R. Johnston, Jr., and Unheating.com.

Free parking is available in Lot A. You can enter from either South Cedar Street or West Fourth Street.
