via release from Food Gatherers: “After careful consideration, we are sad to share that we will not be hosting Grillin’ 2022.

We’ve been looking forward to our annual fundraiser which brings together more than 1,000 people to enjoy music, games, and delicious food from dozens of local businesses.

After careful consideration, we are sad to share that we will not be hosting Grillin’ 2022.

With ongoing supply chain issues and rising inflation and continued public health uncertainty, we are not confident we can pull off a successful event. Everyone in the food industry is exhausted and focused on maintaining their daily operations and the same is true for Food Gatherers.

Thanks to our amazing staff, volunteers, and partners we will continue to persevere through this pandemic and deliver food to our neighbors facing food insecurity. We ask for your continued support of Food Gatherers and all the local businesses who support the community in so many ways.

Instead of buying a ticket to Grillin’, we hope that you will consider a gift to Food Gatherers! Right now, your donation will be matched 1:1, up to $40,000, through the generosity of the Harold and Kay Peplau Family Fund.

We are grateful to our Grillin’ sponsors who have stuck with us! We will be recognizing their support over the next few weeks and we hope you will support these local businesses generously.

Lastly, please mark your calendar for next year’s event on June 11, 2023!

We look forward to Grillin’ with you again soon.
