Open Hand Atlanta's 22nd Annual Party in the Kitchen Fundraiser to Support Nutrition Programs

Open Hand Atlanta is preparing to host its 22nd annual Party in the Kitchen fundraiser, a pivotal event aimed at fostering healthier communities through nutrition. Scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 25, at The Foundry at Puritan Mill, the evening promises an unforgettable experience with celebrated chefs, craft cocktails, and live entertainment, all in support of a noble cause.

Under the guidance of chef co-chairs Peter Kaiser and Kevin Rathbun, alongside event co-chairs Marc Castillo, Heather Froy, and Victor Macias, the fundraiser will showcase signature dishes from top chefs including Terry Koval, Pat Pascarella, and Tyler Haake. The event not only offers a taste of Atlanta's finest culinary talents but also features exclusive auction packages, such as luxury getaways and private dinners, adding an extra layer of excitement for attendees.

A special VIP Patron Reception is set to precede the main event on Thursday, Aug. 21, at the James A. Carlos Family Community Nutrition Center. This exclusive gathering provides patrons and sponsors with a first look at live auction items and a deeper understanding of how their contributions will make a difference in the lives of those facing chronic illnesses, food insecurity, and social isolation across Georgia.

The proceeds from the Party in the Kitchen fundraiser will directly benefit Open Hand's programs, which are crucial in delivering medically tailored meals and nutrition education to vulnerable populations. With main event tickets priced at $300 and the Patron Reception Package starting at $2,000, the community has a unique opportunity to contribute to a healthier future for many.
