Youth Home hosts its annual foodie fundraiser, The Next Course, at Albert Pike Memorial Temple in downtown Little Rock on September 28.
This unique, culinary dining experience takes amateur and practiced foodies to new heights as they enjoy five courses – complete with professional chefs’ tips and instruction on how to prepare the next course. Guests also get to take home a book of the night’s recipes to recreate their favorite dishes. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with a wine reception and a formal dinner to follow.
In preparation for the big event, we are offering an exclusive sneak peek at the five course menu for the evening – hosted (and prepared) by Shane Henderson, Amanda Ivy, Cody Rudd, Titus Holly and Kelli Marks!

Youth Home: “Proceeds will purchase new living and bedroom furniture for a cottage of 12 boys in Youth Home’s Residential Treatment Program. Both durable and designed for safety, this new furniture is the final touch to renovations that began this summer. Once completed the boys’ cottage will feel be brighter, more welcoming, and feel like home.”
