Miami Valley Meals

Thanks to your support, we accomplished a lot last year! Check out our 2023 Annual Report now on our website or by flipping through the document below. Our theme for 2023 was "mise en place," a culinary term for putting things in place—something we have been very focused on over the past year. As we grow to meet our community's needs, it is important that our foundation is solid and that processes and procedures are in place so that we may grow with intention and remain true to our mission. Thank you for volunteering, donating, following, and sharing so we can continue this work. #daytonohio #annualreport #hunger #hungerrelief #foodrescue #food #culinaryarts #miamivalley #community #endhunger #nonprofit

Thank you to State Representative Willis Blackshear Jr, for taking time to tour Miami Valley Meals last week!

What an incredible evening! Last night, Diced in Dayton brought together amazing local culinary talent and a compassionate community, all in support of hunger relief. A huge thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and joined us! 💚 Chefs took on the exciting challenge of crafting unique dishes from four mystery ingredient boxes they picked up from MVM on Friday. After a round of votes from both attendees and our panel of judges, Grist Provisions and Jollity battled it out on stage with a new set of mystery ingredients: scallops, wild gourmet mushrooms, edamame green goddess sauce, and Dayton Microgreens. In the end, Chefs Patrick and Casey of Grist emerged as champions! 🏆 We are incredibly grateful to the chefs who embraced this challenge, similar to what our MVM team does every day, and for their passion in creating delicious, innovative food. We encourage everyone to visit these outstanding establishments and show your support! A special shoutout to Tej Joshi, our awesome emcee for the past three years, and to our fantastic sponsors, enthusiastic volunteers, and dedicated Diced committee members Lisa Grigsby, Amber Rose, CFRE and Brandon McLemore, BS, C-CHW. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our supportive Board of Directors. Because of you all, we raised over $42,000 for hunger relief! The energy and love we felt last night will continue to drive our mission and work to provide thoughtful, nutritious meals to those in need. Thank you, Dayton—your support truly makes a difference. 📸 Jordan Lynn Freshour #DicedInDayton #LocalCulinaryTalent #CommunitySupport #HungerRelief #MiamiValleyMeals #ChefsChallenge #DaytonOhio
