Hillside Food Outreach Hosts 15th Annual Dancing with Our Stars

The event is Hillside’s largest annual fundraiser with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit and its mission to deliver high-quality, nutritious food to thousands of low-income and limited mobility families, seniors, and the chronically ill each month.

Since its inception, Dancing with Our Stars has raised $300,000. The event features eight members of the community who take weekly dance lessons, donated by Arthur Murray of Danbury, for three months. Partnering with their Arthur Murray instructor, participants will showcase their skills in a live competition for attendees and a panel of judges.

Dancing with Our Stars begins at 6:00pm with dinner, followed by the competition and an after party. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are still available. For additional information or to vote for your favorite dancer, visit hillsidefoodoutreach.org/dancing-with-our-stars.

Hillside Food Outreach is headquartered in Mount Kisco, N.Y. and operates in Danbury, Conn. through its satellite location. It may be reached at 914-747-0095 or by visiting hillsidefoodoutreach.org.

About Hillside Food Outreach

As food insecurity reaches its highest point nationally since the 2008 financial crisis, Hillside Food Outreach continues to deliver high-quality, nutritious groceries free of charge to low-income limited mobility families, seniors, veterans, and the chronically ill who cannot access traditional food pantries. The organization was founded in 1997 in Westchester, N.Y. by Kathleen Purdy, who conceived of the program in honor of her late grandmother – whose kindness and lifelong charity inspired a mission to help others. What began as a micro-endeavor to feed a few seniors in their community has grown into an essential food delivery organization, now serving more than 2,000 neighbors in need throughout Westchester, Putnam, and Fairfield Counties, each and every month.
