Join us at this year's luncheon, there will be time to shop our products, network, and learn about the great work of Christ Kitchen. As a locally funded non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community to continue our mission of providing life-changing job training to women in poverty, who are breaking the chains of generational trauma. Your ticket includes a box lunch, and the opportunity to hear from our amazing guest speaker. 

Our guest speaker this year: 

If you’ve ever met Megan or heard her speak, you already know that she radiates hope, energy, joy, and sincerity.
