2026 Chefs Charity Dinner

Our 13th Annual Chefs Charity Dinner is returning to Surrey and we look forward to celebrating again with you!
Join us on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Civic Hotel Autograph Collection to sample the delights of our gourmet guest chefs,
each of whom will prepare a signature dish using recovered food.

Funds raised at our event go directly towards our trauma-informed, no-barrier counselling, outreach and job-skills training programs
for youth at risk across Metro Vancouver.

Our approach to providing harm prevention services is trauma-informed:

  • we meet the youth where they are physically and emotionally
  • our wait times are kept to maximum one month
  • all our programs are offered free of charge

And we’re not doing this alone.

We’ve partnered with 16 community organizations across Metro Vancouver

to extend our reach and provide wrap-around support to the youth in the communities where they live.

If you have a young person in your life who is experiencing mental health challenges, we are here to help.
