On May 16, the Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma at 1304 N. Kenosha Ave. was packed with hundreds of guests for the nonprofit’s signature event, The Dinner Party.
The event included a lively cocktail hour hosted in the Food Bank’s Table 24 Ballroom with live music, mouthwatering appetizers, and delicious cocktails and mocktails. For the main portion of the evening, attendees made their way into the Food Bank’s main warehouse, tastefully decorated with delicate hanging lights enhanced by colorful uplighting.
As guests enjoyed an incredible multi-course meal prepared by the Food Bank’s Chief Culinary Officer Chef Jeremy Johnson, Event Chair Alfre Woodard and Food Bank CEO Jeff Marlow took the stage for an insightful Q&A that reflected on the Food Banks previous year and explored what lies ahead for the organization.
