What an unforgettable night! 
Our 6th annual Fork-Off to Fight Hunger, celebrating 40 incredible years of Network of Community Ministries, truly exceeded every expectation. We are so grateful to everyone who showed up, gave generously, and made the evening so special.
Fork-Off 2026 brought record-breaking attendance and funds raised, all while staying true to the heart of what makes this event meaningful. The stunning Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center at The University of Texas at Dallas created the perfect atmosphere and elevated the entire experience.
A big congratulations to Tejano Brothers New Texas for winning the People’s Choice Award and to Chameli Restaurant & Catering for taking home the Golden Fork Award! 
We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors. Your support makes everything we do possible.
Here’s to 40 years of caring, coaching, and empowering our neighbors—and to the future ahead.
