MEET OUR FOUNDER

I’m Ann Dagrin, an educational leader, eldest daughter, former NCAA D1 and professional athlete, passionate home cook, and event curator.  

Growing up in the kitchen, I’ve always believed there’s nothing more meaningful than sharing meals and moments with loved ones. Inspired by my family and the service work that shaped me, every dish we serve honors my heritage and the rich flavors that bring people together.

In 2021, amidst the pandemic, SERV'D was born with a mission: to foster the kind of connections that bring people out of isolation and into community. With one in five Americans battling chronic loneliness, we knew the need for togetherness was greater than ever. Through social impact initiatives and the SERV'D on Sundays supper club, we’re reshaping the way we connect and building a future of shared stories and support.
