Josh had originally offered dinner at his house as an auction item at a Project Angel Food fundraiser in March of 2019. The $1000 a plate dinner was delayed due to a home remodel, then postponed due to COVID. Josh joked, “Two and a half years later, dinner is finally served.”
Melissa remembered volunteering at Project Angel Food’s sister organization God’s Love We Deliver in New York City with her mother, Joan Rivers, and vowed that she will now make delivering meals for Project Angel Food her new Thanksgiving tradition.

Dayne’s set turned the elegant dinner into a poolside dance party and ended in a standing ovation. The audience burst into applause when she told Josh and Melissa that she’s been in the studio working on a new album with producer Gregg Fields.
