An upbeat, carefree refrain — a jolly "yippee" for the joy of food, service, and the people who make it possible. That's our kitchen. That's our house.
Ooh De Lally
"

Oo-de-lally — an upbeat, interjection-style phrase popularized by the 1973 Disney film Robin Hood. A carefree refrain meaning "yay," "yippee," a jolly "oh la la."

Sung by Roger Miller as Alan-a-Dale — the cheerful heart of the whole thing.

Host your next gathering with purpose. Private events for 30–40 guests directly fund training, wages, and re-entry support. Feed your people. Lift ours.

THE PROGRAM

In partnership with Metropolitan Community College's 180 Re-entry Assistance Program, we work to reduce recidivism, foster growth, and nurture self-sufficiency.

Food is the classroom. Service is the lesson. Dignity is the curriculum.
