What an extraordinary season it has been. This past May, the Star Chefs & Vintners Gala raised more than $6 million for Meals on Wheels San Francisco, an unforgettable evening of generosity, heart, and community

I was honored to serve as Gala Chef Chair alongside so many remarkable chefs and vintners whose passion helped make the night one to remember.

As we look ahead to 2026, I’m filled with excitement for what’s to come. The Gala continues to be a celebration of food, wine, and most importantly, compassion for our city’s seniors. With the continued support of our restaurant and winery partners, and the incredible Meals on Wheels San Francisco community, we are poised to make the upcoming year even more impactful.

Leading up to the Gala, we will share news and events from our chefs and vintners so you can support them all year long.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, we are ensuring that our older neighbors are nourished, cared for, and never forgotten.
