Description

WVCS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that has been providing supportive services to low-income and homeless individuals and families in Santa Clara County for over 49 years. With a service area that includes the 22,000 men, women and children living in poverty in our neighborhoods, WVCS partners with local government, community donors and volunteers, and foundations to provide food, housing, referrals, and case management to men, women and children facing food and housing insecurity.

Chefs of Compassion is a unique and popular charity benefit event that invites well-known professional chefs from throughout Silicon Valley to each prepare one of a three-course dinner inspired by ingredients found in the WVCS food market. Participating chefs are judged during the event on taste, appearance, and creativity, by a panel of celebrity judges, with a special audience favorite award, voted on by all the attendees.

In addition to a delicious dinner and wine, the event also includes stories from some of WVCS’s clients.

Past chefs have represented some of the finest dining and food experiences in our region, including chefs from Michelin-Starred All Spice, Stanford Health Care, Taverna, Alexander's Steak House, Manresa, Alex Hult - owner, and ex-chef of Hult Restuarant, Chefs from Google, Flights, AXL Gastropub, and many more. Thank you for joining us at this year's Chefs of Compassion.
