About the Food Every Day Committee
Over the past 20 plus years, we have raised over $700,000 for organizations that have directly impacted the lives of people who experience hunger within our own community as well as across the nation. We are a year-round committee that executes events with the goal of raising funds and awareness in the mission to end hunger. Our national partner is Share Our Strength. They are a non-profit organization whose sole mission is ending childhood hunger by the year 2015 through the execution of events including Taste of the Nation, the Great American Bake Sale, and the Great American Dine Out; and the implementation of programs like Operation Front Line.

The concept behind the name Share Our Strength is derived from the belief that poverty is complex; feeding a child is not. Everyone has a Strength and everyone has something to Share! Chefs, Companies, Volunteers and everyday Americans who care to make a difference.
We put on 3 events each year.
• Taste of the Nation Ithaca (local recipient agencies focused on no kid hungry)
• Chef’s Night Out (3 very special dinners raising funds for Operation Frontline)
• Cornbread for Kids (funds support the BJM Healthy Snacks Program)
The question for you is, “What is your Strength, and how would you like to Share it?”
We are a fast-paced, fun-loving group who takes our mission very seriously, because we know what is at stake. We know that we are making a difference, and it is very rewarding to serve this mission.
