Raise awareness & Raise a Glass with Us!

Catalyst Kitchens invites all restaurant industry professionals and supporters of our mission and members to join us for a celebration of our members and our network in Hartford, CT in conjunction with our Northeast Summit. Thanks to support of Mutual of America through their 2023 Community Partnership Award, we are able to do our largest Pop-up to date, celebrating our nationwide impact.

At this event, you will join us to:

Enjoy a taste of Fire by Forge's catering, a Model Member of the Catalyst Kitchens, and one of Connecticut's top restaurants.
Hear from member staff, graduates, staff, special guest chefs, and friends of our nationwide network and mission.
A screening of a 15 minute documentary about Catalyst Kitchens' work, featuring programs from around the country.

The event is a fundraiser, benefitting both the national network and our co-host member, Forge City Works. Members and visitors already attending our Northeast Summit, this event is free to you, and be sure to use your registration code.

After Party @ Fire by Forge

After the main event, we will head back to Fire By Forge's "Backroom" event space. If you register to attend this portion of the evening, two drink tickets will be provided to you, and an additional suggested donation can be added. Here are our suggestions:

$50 supports the social enterprises of our members like Forge City Works.
$100 bolsters the Northeast community of members and the programs in this region.
$250 supports our national mission and the work of member programs across the country.
