Loaves & Fishes Toasting for a Cause is Back!

This popular event was paused during the pandemic but is back and better than ever. Guests attending this signature event will enjoy a delicious five-course meal from Catch 35 and exclusive wine pairings while experiencing captivating culinary demonstrations provided by the talented Eddie Sweeney, Corporate Chef from Taste America Restaurant Group and two-time winner of Loaves & Fishes Chef Showdown.

Guests will gather to raise funds in support of struggling families in our community. Loaves & Fishes is working diligently to keep up with a tremendous increase in need. The number of people the organization serves has doubled since January of 2022 to over 6,000 people each week.

“We are looking forward to this special evening to enjoy a fantastic five-course meal at Catch 35 and to raise awareness around the growing need in our community.” Said Mike Havala, CEO of Loaves & Fishes. “With your support, we can provide healthy food and impactful programs for struggling families.”
