Here's how it works: Host a personal event or virtual fundraiser for friends, family, coworkers (whoever you like!). This one-time event can be a virtual coffee, a birthday, a dinner party, a BBQ, or even an email writing campaign.

With your own personalized fundraising page, you’ll be able to ask your guests to make a contribution to feed hungry kids in your community - and help you meet your own overall goal: $250, $500, or $1,000 ($1,500 serves one day of meals for The Patachou Foundation).

We all have fond food memories from childhood. Even just a smell can transport you back to a time when you gathered around the dinner table with friends and family. Unfortunately, not every child has these same experiences. One in five students The Patachou Foundation serves deals with daily hunger and food insecurity, meaning dinner may not always be on the table.

That’s why The Patachou Foundation prepares and serves 1,500 wholesome, after-school meals to students in Indianapolis every week. We also get kids excited about the food they’re eating through hands-on education and cooking classes. As you enjoy dinner, we hope you’ll remember what it was like to be a kid and what a difference it made to have a belly full of nutritious food.
