The Ingersoll Chef Lunch Series: A Lunch with Purpose Featuring the Animal Rescue League of Iowa

Join us at The Ingersoll for the first installment of The Ingersoll Chef Lunch Series, a special dining experience bringing our community together through great food and meaningful causes!

For our inaugural luncheon, we're proud to partner with the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL), an organization dedicated to protecting animals, supporting pets and the people who love them, and creating a more compassionate community.

Enjoy a delicious, three-course lunch prepared by Chef Chase Johanson while learning more about the incredible work ARL does right here in our community. During the luncheon, the Animal Rescue League will share a special presentation about their organization, the animals they serve, and the many ways they make a difference.

Want to make an even bigger impact? Bring along pet supplies or other pet-related goods to donate! We'll have a dedicated donation table where guests can drop off items to help support the Animal Rescue League and the animals in their care.

A little lunch can make a big difference. The Ingersoll will donate 10% of event proceeds directly to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, helping support their ongoing mission.
