The Compassionate Chefs Cafe hosted a very successful buffet and fund raiser on May 20th. Sixty-five people donated time and money while enjoying wonderful Indian fare. The crowd was made up of many people from the restaurant industry and friends of New Delhi Restaurant, it was a great chance to socialize and re-establish old ties.
Nearly $7,000 was raised for the Tenderloin After School Program in San Francisco and the Gandhi Ashram in New Delhi. All the staff donated their time, as well. Despite competing with Bay-to-Breakers held the same weekend – the turnout was robust. As usual, every dollar raised goes straight to the two organizations. None is spent on expenses or overhead.
The next event is being planned for November, 18th. Watch this space for more information.
