Whirlpool Corporation, KitchenAid® Experience, and Darke County United Way teamed up to offer “Experience a Giving Dinner” on Friday, June 6th at First Friday in Downtown Greenville. Homemade taco salads with cilantro ranch dressing and gourmet club wraps with a sweet and sour sauce were part of the menu.

Over 200 were served during this charity dinner raising $2,168. Whirlpool Corporation and KitchenAid® Experience ran this wonderful fundraiser to benefit the Darke County United Way and support its 27 non-profit programs in the community to strengthen education, health and income stability. Last year, these programs served over 24,000 Darke County residents.

Whirlpool Corporation and KitchenAid® Experience have been loyal supporters of the United Way for many years, and their support alone makes up a third of the county campaign.

Congratulations to John Wright for winning the brand new product the KitchenAid® Soda Stream. “On behalf of the Darke County United Way board and staff, we want to thank Whirlpool Corporation and KitchenAid® Experience for their generous support and offering Experience a Giving Dinner for the community in order to help so many in need in our community.
