Since 2017, the Food Security Initiative has been at the forefront of combating food and basic needs insecurities among students at College of DuPage.  This powerful movement unites staff and faculty from across campus, each bringing their unique expertise to remove barriers to our students' success.  Join us for an unforgettable evening of exquisite dishes by our Culinary students and a deep dive into the real-life challenges our students face.  Discover how we're breaking down barriers through innovative resources like the Fuel Pantry and Fuel Garden, and exciting new initiatives on the horizon, equipping students with the tools they need to thrive.  Be part of the conversation, the solution, and the celebration. Together, we fuel success.


This is a casual, informal dining experience featuring food prepared and served by Culinary & Hospitality students.   

This is not a seated Waterleaf dinner.  All ticket sales are final.
