Lajollacooks4u Welcomes Volunteers of America into its Kitchen
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 26, 2016 -- Lajollacooks4u hosted a charitable auction evening last month with the Southwest division of Volunteers of America (VOA), a nonprofit organization that provides affordable housing and other assistance services primarily to low-income people throughout the U.S.
Gary McCormick was the winner of the auction raffle and brought along a group of his family and friends. Chef Chris Gardner served as the guest chef and designed a magnificent menu consisting of local spotted grouper and porcini-rubbed chicken breast with orzo, feta cheese and grilled asparagus, followed by a stone fruit crisp dessert with vanilla bean ice cream and sautéed berries.
To make the evening extra special, Chef Chris rounded up two former San Diego Chargers players, Kassim Osgood and Jacques Cesaire, to join in on the fun. It was an evening filled with delicious food, great company and a beautiful venue.
Founded in 1896, Volunteers of America Southwest serves over 13,000 individuals, children and families annually in San Diego, San Bernadino, Riverside, Orange and Imperial counties.
