You’re Invited to a Special Benefit for Helen Keller Services

Please join us for an extraordinary evening that supports the vital work of Helen Keller Services while offering a unique sensory experience. Discover the heightened awareness that comes when dining without relying on sight, as your other senses guide you through a remarkable culinary journey.

Our specially curated farm-to-table experience, designed by the innovative team at Green Top Farms, will awaken your senses of taste, smell, touch, and hearing in remarkable ways.

A Multi-Sensory Culinary Adventure

Our expert chefs have designed an experience that engages all your senses beyond sight:

Textural Journeys: Discover the fascinating interplay of contrasting textures—from smooth to crunchy, crispy to creamy—that bring dimension to each course.

Sound as Seasoning: Notice how certain foods create distinctive sounds when served or consumed, adding an unexpected auditory element to your dining experience.

Aromatic Explorations: Herbs lightly toasted tableside release captivating aromas that enhance flavor perception and create anticipation before the first bite.

Flavor Harmonies: Experience carefully balanced ingredients creating a symphony of flavors that unfold as you savor each bite.

Gaining New Perspectives

This immersive dining experience provides a meaningful glimpse into how individuals who are blind, DeafBlind, or have low vision experience meals and navigate daily life. By temporarily removing visual cues, you’ll discover how your other senses naturally heighten and adapt, creating a deeper appreciation for the diverse ways we all experience the world.

Throughout the evening, you’ll hear from individuals who are blind, DeafBlind, or have low vision about their personal journeys and discover how Helen Keller Services supports independence, achievement, and community connection. We’ll also share new initiatives and opportunities to partner with HKS and support our work throughout the NY Metro area, Long Island, and nationally.
