foodNow, an all-volunteer gala provides a creative approach to raising awareness and funding for local, healthier eating in Greater Kansas City. Local farmers and local chefs come together to bring a unique local food experience to the West Bottoms, "the original Kansas City", where the roots of agriculture in the Midwest began.

Spanning the Bridge

Row crop tables will span the bridge where farmers traveled down to bring their bounty in centuries past. There you will be served a three course dinner by the finest local chefs created from today's local bounty.

Bridge to local, healthier eating

Proceeds from the gala go to 501(c)(3) not-for-profits working for local, healthier eating. This year's beneficiaries are Greater Kansas City Food Policy Coalition, and Dream Factory of Greater Kansas City
