About the Experience
Held on the evening of Daylight Saving Time—when light quite literally returns—A Light Exists in Spring is an intimate, reflective farm-to-table dinner inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson.
The evening blends seasonal cuisine, poetry, and storytelling to honor moments of transition: from uncertainty to stability, from crisis to care, from darkness toward light.
This benefit dinner supports CommUnity Crisis Services, an organization providing immediate, non-judgmental support for individuals and families facing emotional, food, and financial crises in our community.
