Lajollacooks4u Hosts the San Diego Food Bank for a Special Evening Honoring Food Bank Supporters
SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) June 27, 2019 -- Lajollacooks4u was delighted to have hosted the San Diego Food Bank last week, as approximately 25 Food Bank supporters gathered at the team-building and cooking event company’s Italian-style venue for an evening of great food and great company. Guests sipped on mocktails as they mingled and enjoyed the views overlooking La Jolla, and later feasted on California cuisine dishes, such as ahi poke in wonton cups, lamb sliders with tzatziki and pita and edamame salad with blackened shrimp.
While chocolate mousse and berry crumb bars were served for dessert, Lajollacooks4u’s Founder and Chef Jodi Abel welcomed the group and spoke about her involvement with the San Diego Food Bank. She then introduced Food Bank President and CEO Jim Floros, who shared more about the nonprofit’s mission, achievements and upcoming goals.
“We were absolutely thrilled with the event,” said Liz Sheahan, the Food Bank’s Vice President of Development. “The Lajollacooks4u team was amazing. [The venue] was a great setting for us to really get to know our donors on a level we hadn’t previously.”
Added Chef Jodi, “I’ve always been passionate about feeding the hungry, and over the past several years I’ve become more and more involved with the San Diego Food Bank and its many initiatives. Tonight was a lovely way to continue our support for this fabulous organization, as well as give back to our community.”
