Join us in celebrating community, sustainability, and local food at the annual Farm to Fork Dinner, hosted by the UNI-CEEE Local Food Program.
This event brings together neighbors, farmers, and advocates to share a meal, a story, and a vision for a resilient regional food system.
Proceeds from this year’s dinner will directly support our Veggie Voucher Program, which has increased access to fresh fruits and vegetables for vulnerable and underserved populations in Waterloo since 2016.
