Tri-Valley nonprofit Culinary Angels is celebrating its major milestone in 2026 with a gala in Livermore Valley wine country this fall to raise funds and awareness upon the occasion.
The “Bounty of Hope” 10th anniversary gala represents an important event for the nonprofit that prepares and delivers “locally sourced, organic, nutrient-rich meals and nutrition education to cancer patients and their families” in Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville.
“This is the organization’s largest and most important fundraiser this year, relying on revenue generated from this event to sustain their programs,” Culinary Angels officials said in a press release.
“Culinary Angels operates primarily with volunteers; however, the provision of high-quality nutritious meals still requires significant financial outlay,” they added. “Thus, the funds raised at the event from the organization’s generous donors and attendees are critical to the viability of its operations.”
The gala – set for Oct. 11 at Concannon Vineyard – will feature a buffet dinner by On The Vine Catering, wines from the venue, live and silent auctions, live music by Megan Gonzales and a program emceed by Juliette Goodrich of KPIX News CBS Bay Area that includes highlighting the nonprofit’s accomplishments, its partners and plans for growth.
“Driven by the surge in community support and growing local demand, Culinary Angels has successfully increased its service delivery from one meal to two meals per week per recipient and caregiver,” reps told the Pleasanton Weekly. “The organization is actively scaling operations with the goal of providing three meals per week to clients by this fall.”
“A Youth Program has also been started and will launch in the fall to align it with increased meal production. Culinary Angels is primarily volunteer driven and this new program will share the spirit of volunteerism with youth in the community,” they added.
