Jami Dare, food production manager, recently competed in the 10th annual Chefs Take a Stand fundraiser. The event featured food from chefs around the Cedar Valley to benefit Friends of the Family programs dedicated to helping those in crisis due to domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and homelessness.
