More chefs will be added throughout the summer.
Because of the pandemic, Beacon House Association of San Pedro had a $225,000 shortfall to assist those with alcohol and drug addiction issues. On the website, visitors are encouraged to purchase private dinners with a selected chef starting at $5,000. The meal will be prepared and served at the buyer’s residence or at the chef’s restaurant with the location and date to be agreed upon by both parties. The number of guests shall be limited to 10. Dinner purchases end Oct. 11. Dining purchases can also be made via email at the 20chefs@beaconhouse.org.
“We feel encouraged by the outpouring of support and love to help these men. Addiction is one of the greatest scourges,” said Beacon House Association of San Pedro’s Executive Director, Brian Smith. “Our center allows these men to rejoin their loving families and become willing participants in their communities.”
