CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF SHARE OUR STRENGTH

Join us at the Los Angeles No Kid Hungry Dinner on Wednesday, April 24th for an evening of culinary excellence, inspiration, and purpose. During the event we will be celebrating the commitment of local leaders who have made an impact on kids including Chef Mary Sue Milliken and entertainer Billy Harris.

Guests will experience an intimate multi-course menu curated by renowned culinary talent from across the nation –all while raising funds for Share Our Strength and our No Kid Hungry campaign.

For any questions or to reserve your table, please contact Kathleen Polenzani at kpolenzani@strength.org.

Can’t attend? Please consider making a gift in support of our urgent work to feed kids here.

A note about donor advised funds: the IRS prohibits the use of Donor Advised Funds where more than an incidental benefit is received by the donor in return (e.g. event table/tickets, purchase of auction items). This prohibition applies regardless of whether the donor pays separately for the benefits received (i.e. the “non-deductible” amount). All table/ticket and auction purchases, therefore, must be funded personally outside of a Donor Advised Fund. For further guidance, please consult with your Donor Advised Fund administrator.
