Local Partnerships
Candid Fare dinners highlight a local non-profit, organization, or small business making positive changes in our food systems and the local community. Each partner will be announced as a surprise guest upon arrival. We are proud to highlight the good work being done in and around the Chicago-land area.
This Month’s Partner
In discovering colorful corals and powerful sharks at Shedd, you’re connected to their wild counterparts—and the conservation research of Shedd scientists. Scientists from Shedd’s Daniel P. Haerther Center for Conservation and Research conduct research to better understand wild animals and their habitats, helping us work with partners to build management strategies to protect them.
This Month’s Partner
Open Water is ultra-purified, electrolyte-packed canned water in BPA-free aluminum packaging. Open Water uses the most recycled packaging in the world. Empty aluminum beverage containers are recycled more than twice as often as their plastic, glass, and carton counterparts. Open Water uses an average of 73% post-consumer aluminum in every bottle and can. Aluminum recycling is a true closed loop. That means that the material from one bottle can go right back into making another identical bottle, which doesn’t happen with plastic and cartons. Open Water is the 1st and only certified climate neutral bottled water brand. They offset all of the emissions created not only by their packaging, but by their company operations as a whole.
