How would we gather the necessary ingredients, the equipment, or the volunteers needed for such a feat? These were questions on everyone's minds, but they didn’t stop our community (Zack Smith) from believing that it could be done.

A lot of thought went into planning each step, from sourcing hundreds of cans of peaches to finding a local chefs (Candice Lambdin) willing to roll up their sleeves.
