Giving back to Ohio’s Hospice of Dayton allows our patients to live out their final days in comfort, surrounded by loved ones with peace and serenity.”

Top chefs from locally owned eateries, including Archer’s Tavern, Crafted & Cured, Rolling Indulgence Food Truck, Sima, Smokin’ Bee-Bee-Q Food Truck, Table 33, and Watermark Restaurant, served samples of their best work.
