Six Kitchens:
Dinners to Support the Keller Market House
Saturday, June 15th
Help the Keller Market House to complete renovations for phase one of our new commercial kitchen while enjoying a lovely evening with expertly prepared, locally sourced menus, well-paired wine and good friends!
Join us Saturday, June 15th at 6:30 pm for a series of fundraiser dinners. Members of our community will generously open their homes, each hosting a different and uniquely themed dinner.
All proceeds from the event will go to fund the necessary improvements and equipment for the first phase of the Keller Community Kitchen project. This licensed kitchen will help us to expand our programming and further support our mission. A grant from the Fairfield County Foundation's Wendel Family Fund has enabled us to make considerable progress. The funds raised by these dinners will help us with the finishing touches. The generosity of our hosts and chefs and sponsorships by Lancaster Bingo and NFocus Consulting will cover the majority of our costs and help to ensure that as much money as possible will go directly to our project.
Our commercial kitchen will allow us to:
• increase our range of product offerings
• host interactive cooking classes and demonstrations
• offer a community space with facilities for events that involve food and drink
• further develop our relationship with students and interns from area culinary and nutrition programs
Reserve a space for a $100 donation per person. Choose the menu and location of your choice below and click on its individual link for tickets to that dinner.
