Dine Below the Line

Dine Below the Line has transformed into a friendly cooking competition showcasing local food pantries and their impact in the community while taking items commonly found in food pantries and elevating them to a healthy, nutritious meal!

The Dine Below the Line hunger awareness event was conceived as a Rutgers Intern project in 2016 in partnership with MCFOODS, now known as REPLENISH, and has taken wing. 

REPLENISH has partnered with different pantries to move the event throughout the County each year.  The first event was attended by about 50 people and has continued to grow with 200 people attending the last in person event with guests including county and local government officials, county non-profits, local businesses, food pantry volunteers, parishioners, food pantry clients, and many other individual stakeholders in the fight against hunger.
