Event Details
Join Fox Valley Food for Health for an opportunity to enjoy an evening experiencing our Healthy Meals Program first hand!
This year we are shifting our Harvest Moon Dance to a night Under the Harvest Moon. It will be held on October 16, 2021 from 6:00 – 10:00 pm at the Kane County Fairgrounds in St. Charles. Get a snapshot into our program by enjoying a heavy sampling of some of our signature dishes, open bar, raffles and both a live & silent auction! You’ll get a chance to meet our team of adult volunteers & Teen Chefs and learn more about what it takes to prep, cook & deliver over 17,000 meals a year, and how it has impacted their lives. Any health crisis requires an “all-hands-on-deck” response by a family, and in turn a community. Cancer in particular is so widespread that it is easy to find someone in our lives who has been impacted by it and so we ask all community members to help us provide hope by delivering meals or training our Teen Chefs. All proceeds from the Under the Harvest Moon event will go directly to supporting our mission by funding an increase in meals, vegetable production of our summer garden, and to support our volunteers.
We can’t wait to see you on October 16th!

The auction site is available on your computer or phone, but make sure you test this prior to the event so you can see which format you prefer.
Here’s some quick tips for the online auction:
- Create an account first. Once you access the site, be sure to click “Sign In” on the top right corner and create your account. There you will be able to add a credit card for quick and easy check out. You are required to add a credit card prior to bidding on any items. Once you are signed in you will also be able to track items you’ve bid on, view your receipts and update forms of payment, by select the white icon next to your name.

- Donate Now/ Online Paddle Raise. In this section you can directly support our programs. In 2020, our Healthy Meals Program provided over 17,000 meals to our neighbors in need. Our Teen Chefs and adult volunteer work every week to prep and cook fresh organic healing meals to be delivered to our client families free of charge for 12 weeks. Each individual (client & family member) receives 6 healing meals per week, free of charge! We purchase the majority of our produce and ingredients fresh each week, which comes with a heavy price. We rely on generous donors like yourself to help us raise the necessary funds to continue to deliver these meals free of charge. We have designated key giving levels and can’t thank you enough for providing the tools and ingredients our volunteers use each week in our kitchen!
- Check out. At the close of the event, all transactions and donations will be processed as one transaction. The auction will close at 7:15 pm and at that time the winner’s credit cards will be charged.
