What a weekend! Thank you so much to Cynthia, Reed, Kerry and the entire team of R Entertainment who made it possible for us to be a part of USA TODAY Network Wine & Food Experience.
It was great to see some of our current #RestaurantCommunityPartners like Frites Street, Chula Seafood, Zak’s Chocolate and many more future #RCPs! Such an honor to meet Food Network Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and a million and one thank you’s to Antoni Porowski from Queer Eye for loving and supporting our mission. Antoni not only shared about us on his IG page but he also FACETIMED OUR VERY OWN @arelitrapero (who may be his biggest superfan… ever)!
And of course, none of this would ever have been possible without the very backbone of our organization — our volunteers. Thank you Jaime, Amanda, Lisa, Sylvia, Marti, Bill, Katy, Britton, Shoshana, Phillip, Lara, Elayne, Jessica, Christopher, Kim, Dora, and Rhonda (please tag yourselves!!)
We aren’t sure how we got so lucky to be a part of this big community of even bigger hearts but we are SO GRATEFUL!
