Milton Community Food Pantry held a fundraiser April 18, featuring four chefs serving up a four-course dinner.

Held at Milton fire hall, the Plate It Forward event saw chefs David Kneller, Hari Cameron, Preston Russell and Dru Tevis make four dishes using ingredients provided by the pantry. The event also featured a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses and organizations such as Fresh Market, Dogfish Head and Milton Arts Guild, and a cash bar with beverages donated by Oak Creek Wine and Spirits. 

Each dish was served by pantry volunteers.
