A Unique Tasting Event Benefiting

Chef’s Table reflects the joy and purpose we experience while bringing joy and purpose to orphans. Rather than a run-of-the-mill benefit dinner, this energetic evening features some of the best chefs and boldest flavors around Indianapolis, all while benefiting Lifesong for Orphans.

With caring people like you, Lifesong supports children locally and in 15 countries around the world through global orphan care ministries, adoption financial support, and foster care initiatives. 

Not everyone is called to adopt a child or serve orphans overseas. But everyone can do something to reach orphans. Join us at Chef’s Table to celebrate what God is doing on behalf of orphaned and vulnerable children and to discover unique opportunities to join where He is working! 

100% of gifts given at Chef’s Table go directly to caring for children in need.

Take a look at what Chef’s Table is all about.

Watch this short recap video from this year’s event.
