The 16^th CHEFS Gala will benefit the Episcopal Community Services of San Francisco, the Bay Area’s most impactful provider of housing and supportive services for families and individuals who have experienced homelessness. The Gala celebrates our CHEFS (Conquering Homelessness through Employment in Food Services) program, which provides employment training and placement for students in the culinary industry as a pathway out of poverty.

Funds raised from the CHEFS Gala will not only directly benefit the thousands of neighbors ECS programs and services reach everyday but also strengthen the underlying infrastructure that has enabled us to quickly innovate and scale responses to protect those with the greatest need at these uncertain times. Last fiscal year, as ECS provided services to over 10,000 individuals and served over 418,000 meals to those who otherwise may have gone hungry, we were also a key partner as San Francisco mobilized an unprecedented effort to protect our homeless population from the rapid spread of COVID. Your contribution to this year’s CHEFS Gala will strengthen our ability to do even more.

 To recognize your contribution, ECS will feature your logo on the event website as well as promote your participation on social media.  To learn more, please visit www.chefsgalasf.org.
