Food on the Stove’s 3rd Annual Charity Gala, the Dress Blue Gala, was a powerful evening of purpose, unity, and celebration. Dedicated to honoring frontline workers and advancing wellness within the emergency response community, the event brought together community leaders, supporters, first responders, and frontline workers for a truly unforgettable night.
Guests were treated to a sophisticated program featuring heartfelt tributes, inspiring stories, and dynamic entertainment—all in support of Food on the Stove’s mission to serve those who serve us.
A highlight of the evening was the recognition of Prince George’s County Fire Department Station 844 (Chillum), Ambulance 801 (Hyattsville), and MedStar Washington Hospital Center for their exceptional care of Celebrity Chef Tobias Dorzon. Although Chef Tobias was unable to attend, he shared a special message of gratitude with attendees, personally thanking those who aided him during a recent traumatic incident.
