Compassion is at the heart of the CityMeals-on-Wheels mission. In that spirit, we’re giving away a pair of tickets to the inspiring — and delicious — 25th Silver Spoons Chefs’ Tribute to the person who best conveys their own compassion and kindness for those in need.
Held in honor of renowned chef and CityMeals founder James Beard, the Silver Spoons gala dinner will be held on Monday, June 14 at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Over 1,000 guests will come to stroll the esplanades and gardens of the famed Manhattan landmark, sample exquisite cuisine, sip champagne and cocktails, and dance until midnight. All proceeds from the event will support CityMeals-on-Wheels’ efforts to bring nutritious meals to the home-bound elderly.
How to Enter
Those who care about food almost as much as they care about people are invited to enter by answering the following question:
“For whom or what do you feel the most compassion, and how do you honor that compassion?”
We’re looking for answers between 100 and 250 words in length that best capture the way you feel for someone or something that’s vulnerable and dear to your heart, and what you do to help. So if someone in your neighborhood is struggling with an illness and you try to be there for them, or there’s a problem in your community that you’re trying to help solve, be sure to tell us about it. We’re looking for heart, authenticity, and the kind of inspiration that comes from true compassion.
Two volunteers from the New York Fire department bring some delicious holiday cheer to CityMeals friends.
