On October 20th, we will celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Katie’s Krops Dinner. To say I am proud of this milestone is an understatement. I was just 12 years old when I started our Katie’s Krops Dinner; at now 24, I have spent half my life working to serve healthy free garden-to-table meals to my neighbors.

What else makes this anniversary extra special? This October, we will celebrate a decade-long partnership with Summerville Baptist! Ten years ago, our friends at Summerville Baptist took a chance to allow children to prepare and serve healthy meals while allowing anyone in need in the community to dine with us in their Fellowship Hall. We are so grateful and blessed that they believed in our mission and opened their doors to us. I treasure our relationship. Working together, we have been able to help thousands and thousands of our neighbors often during their most changing times.

We are now serving more people than ever before. To everyone who has volunteered, donated, cheered us on, shared a meal with us, and shared our efforts over the past 12 years, thank you! I am where I am today because of you.

Join us on Thursday, October 20th, at 4:30 pm for our anniversary dinner. We anticipate a large crowd, so we recommend arriving early. Please follow the direction of our traffic volunteer for everyone’s safety and to allow the line to move quickly. The dinner is always free.
