GRAZE, GIVE & GATHER:

COMPSON PLACE'S "GRAZE FOR GOOD" RETURNS NOVEMBER 10 WITH A NEW COMMUNITY FOOD DRIVE

A Night of Bites, Bubbles, and Giving Back Benefits The Soup Kitchen — and Asks Guests to Bring a Little Extra Generosity to the Table

There's a reason "Graze for Good" made such an impression in its debut last year — where else can you sample your way through several kitchens, raise a glass, and support your neighbors, all in a single stroll through one shopping center? This November, the evening returns for its second year on Tuesday, November 10, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., with a new twist that makes an already generous night even more meaningful.

Guests will once again wander Compson Place's open-air promenade, ticket in hand, sampling signature bites, sips, and desserts from a lineup of participating restaurants — with proceeds from every ticket benefiting The Soup Kitchen, a local organization dedicated to feeding families in need throughout the community.

Participating restaurants include Cluck N Smash, Lemongrass, and Sushi Sake, with more to be announced.

This year's "Graze for Good" also comes with a new layer of purpose built directly into the evening: as they enter, guests are asked to bring a canned food item and/or a gift card to a local grocery store, helping stock the shelves of local pantries just as the holiday season begins to take shape.

“From the very first year, 'Graze for Good' has been about bringing this community together over great food and an even better cause,” said Christie Starr, Management Agent, Stiles Property Management. “This year, we wanted to build on that spirit even further. Asking guests to bring a can of food or a grocery gift card is such a simple gesture, but multiplied across a night like this, it adds up to something that can genuinely help families right here in our own backyard.”

“The Soup Kitchen is honored to once again be the beneficiary of 'Graze for Good,'” said Marlene Mejia, Chief Executive Officer of The Soup Kitchen. “Events like this do more than raise funds — they raise awareness, and they bring neighbors together in a spirit of generosity. Adding a food drive component this year means even more support reaches families who need it most, right as we head into the busiest season for hunger relief.”

Tickets are $20 and are available in advance at https://compsongrazeforgood2026.eventbrite.com. Guests are encouraged to bring their donation — a canned food item, a grocery store gift card, or both — with them the night of the event.
