Join us for an evening in support of Blessings in a Backpack River Valley which packs weekend meals for food insecure students in our community. For many children their only sourde of consistent nutrition is the food they receive at school. When school is closed, they are less likely to eat full meals which impacts many aspects of their lives including ability to learn. Blessings in a Backpack aims to be sure that students are able to access basic food staples that can be prepared with minimal infrastructure or supervison.

Friday Dinner: Celebrating Julia Child
Julia Child, the Grande Dame of food, inspires so many of us in the Granor Kitchen and beyond. Tonight we will be celebrating her cannon with a three course menu inspired by her years of recipes.
The meal will begin with family style snacks followed with an individually-plated, three course menu featuring our favorite Julia Child recipes.
Every meal includes beverages, both Granor Table Wine and non-alcoholic options, paired with that night's menu.
