10 Rescued Dishes Celebrating a Decade of Service, Sustenance, and Community

Rooted was an unforgettable celebration of 10 years of 412 Food Rescue impact, and it was only possible because of our amazing community. Thank you to everyone who joined us to honor a decade of rescuing food and nourishing neighbors!

From the incredible dishes prepared by local chefs to the vibrant entertainment and meaningful moments of reflection, the evening truly showcased the power of community coming together. Community support helped us celebrate our past and, most importantly, set the stage for the next decade of food rescue, connection, and resilience.
