Chefs & Vintners for Meals on Wheels
May 17, 2009: Boulevard’s Nancy Oakes returned for a sixth year to lead one of the most illustrious line-ups of culinary superstars in Northern California, an extraordinarily generous group of 80 dedicated chefs and restaurants, to provide and prepare the entire menu for a benefit for Meals On Wheels of San Francisco. The event raised more than $1.1 million, enough to provide approximately 220,000 meals for the Bay Area's homebound senior citizens. 78 of California’s leading vintners including Hanzell Vineyards, Duckhorn Vineyards, Pride Mountain Vineyards, Silver Oak Cellars, Peay Vineyards and Vineyard 29, poured and paired their best vintages throughout the evening, and helped raise one third of the funds Meals on Wheels needs each year. Meals On Wheels of San Francisco is the oldest and largest meal delivery service for homebound seniors in San Francisco, and is committed to the belief that all seniors have the right to live independently with dignity and respect for as long as it is safely possible. Its mission is to provide isolated homebound seniors in San Francisco with nutritious meals, daily human contact and supportive services to prevent their premature institutionalization.
