Support the movement to feed more people, waste less food, and protect the planet!

Join WasteLess Solutions for our 5th Annual Second Chance Dance—a fundraiser where sustainability meets celebration. Since 2018, we have rescued over 3 million pounds of food from reaching Utah landfills, and this event is your chance to help us continue that mission.

The Experience

Step into the Murray Armory for an evening dedicated to showing that food should never go to waste. This isn't your average gala; it's a "Rescue to Table" experience featuring:

Award-Winning Cuisine: Local chefs will compete for the "Second Chance Dance People’s Choice Award," creating beautiful small plates using high-quality rescued ingredients.
Dance & Drinks: Enjoy music from our live DJ and a selection of adult beverages.
Sustainable Style: In the spirit of the "second chance" theme, the attire is thrifted or vintage clothing.

Why It Matters

In Utah, 600,000 tons of food are wasted every year, while 445,000 individuals face food insecurity. Beyond the social impact, food rotting in landfills releases methane gas—a greenhouse gas 80x more potent than carbon dioxide. By attending, you are supporting a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to a cleaner, more food-secure Utah.
