Local nonprofit Robin Hood’s Kitchen hosted a celebratory fundraiser dinner to toast to its efforts and accomplishments at the Southwind Retreat Center in Silk Hope on June 12. Community supper club Porch Light Raleigh presented a fourcourse meal showcasing local farms such as In Good Heart Farm, Little Way Farm, Haw River Mushrooms, Granite Springs Farm and The Plant Factory. The menu was prepared by different chefs, including Kamilah Baker, Kelly Burton and Sarah Sligh. Since November 2020, Robin Hood’s Kitchen has brought together farmers, chefs and businesses to produce delicious, ready-to-eat meals for people facing food insecurity. The organization has also encouraged people to be involved in their community gardens in both Lee and Chatham counties. CM 18
