As charity beneficiary for next week's LouisvilleHotBytes Chicken & Dumplings Throwdown, we have selected The Food Literacy project. 100 percent of proceeds from the $10 admission fee will go to this project without any administrative or handling charges.
The Food Literacy Project is a local non-profit which does hands-on agricultural education programs on the farm for school and community groups, as well as professional development for educators.
Its mission is "to inspire Louisville residents to make food choices that sustain their bodies, their communities and the earth through educational programs and technical assistance offered in partnership with a local vegetable farm." Much of their work is with kids on the West End in the so-calld "Food Desert," sections of the city relatively poorly served by groceries and quality food outlets, educating them about where their food comes from. Here’s the organization's website:

We hope to draw a big crowd for the event Tuesday evening, May 19, from 6-9 p.m. at Standard Country Club, 8208 Brownsboro Road.
