Dames in the Community

Our Sweet Treats sale in February is one of the sweetest fundraisers in Birmingham! The money we raise with this bake sale funds a grant and a scholarship. 

​

Every Saturday morning in September, it's Dames Takeover at the Market at Pepper Place. The money we raise at our booth allows us to fund outreach efforts like sponsoring Alabama's ProStart high school culinary teams. 

​

We volunteer each month at the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama. And we partner with the Food Bank each year for the Feast for Hope Gala, a five-course, wine-paired, Dame-prepared dinner in the transformed warehouse.  The event supports the Food Bank’s mission to feed food-insecure families in our area and to help find the solutions to end hunger in central Alabama.

​

Additionally, we judge local food contests like Episcopal Place's Gumba Gala, the Cahaba River Society Fry Down, Taco Fest, the state ProStart competition, and more.
