✨ Something new is taking shape at Food Outreach… and we have some amazing partners to thank. 💙

If you’ve noticed some changes in our content lately—the look, the feel, the stories we’re sharing—it’s all part of an exciting new chapter, and we couldn’t have done it without our incredible branding partners at TOKY.

From helping us bring our refreshed identity to life to creating the foundation for how we share our mission with the community, TOKY has helped us tell the Food Outreach story in a whole new way.

And this is just the beginning. 👀

Join us at A Tasteful Affair 38: Saddle Up for Nutrition on October 11, 2026, at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis for the official unveiling of our new brand and the next chapter of Nutrition for Good.

We can’t wait to share what we’ve been building with you. 💚

👀 The panel is almost complete…

Our judges will begin to be revealed very soon, and trust us… you won’t want to miss this lineup. Each one brings a unique perspective, years of experience, and a true love for the art of drag.
