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.
