The Elgin Street Mission, Verdicchio Ristorante and the Lougheed Foundation served up a five-star gourmet meal for around 250 hungry people on April 23.
This is the second time the trio has teamed up to serve up a fine dining experience at the Mission.
It was an amazing event,” said Amanda Robichaud, the executive director of the Elgin Street Mission. “We had about 20 volunteers to serve a sit-down, five-star dinner. Most volunteers were from the Rotary Sudbury Sunrisers.”
Robichaud said through donors, the event helped raise about $13,000 to support the Mission’s operations.
“All the food and staff hours were donated by Verdicchio,” Robichaud said.
The hungry crowd enjoyed a menu that included caesar salad to start, rosé pasta, braised pork shank for the main dish and blueberry cobbler for dessert.
“This event was simply to treat our guests to a wonderful meal,” Robichaud said.
The Elgin Street Mission serves more than 325 people a day, a number that continues to increase.
