Trinity Loaves and Fishes (TLF), a program dedicated to feeding the hungry and food insecure, is making a difference in the community one meal at a time.
On April 11, the organization hosted its annual Meals for My Neighbor Gala, a fundraising event aimed at ensuring the continued preparation and distribution of meals. Trinity Loaves and Fishes serves an impressive 50,000-plus meals each year.
The gala took place at Christ Church Cathedral, with Southern Hospitality Catering providing the evening’s cuisine and Anais St. John entertaining the attendees.
In addition to ticket sales and donations, funds were raised through a wine pull and a silent auction, which featured vacation homes in North Carolina and Florida, pottery by Susu Kearny, and a private dinner party hosted by Chef Andrew Thayer and cocktail specialist John Pitzer.
Sally Cockerham was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, while Toto Robinson and Brett Sutton were recognized as Volunteers of the Year.
The event was co-chaired by Phyllis Hugg and Kelly Williams.
Interesting Fact: TLF has a new truck that delivers over 200 hot meals to after-school programs, senior citizens and the unhoused.
Editor’s Note: St. Charles Avenue mourns the loss of Sally and Walter Cockerham, who passed away in the summer. Both were dedicated volunteers and community activists.
