Following the success of its April 2024 “Party with a Purpose,” which raised over $21,000 for World Central Kitchen’s crisis-related hunger relief programs, Gift for Life’s Home Vs Hunger team is gearing up for another impactful evening. The event will once again offer industry professionals and hunger relief supporters a chance to mingle, enjoy an evening of entertainment and contribute to a vital cause.

We invite everyone to join us for an event at which every contribution will make a tangible impact on communities in need.”
