Corporate Giving Opportunities
Our corporate supporters are essential partners in the work to support seniors living with dignity and independence in the community. We appreciate the financial gifts, year-round volunteering, and donation of goods and services that corporations and businesses provide in support of our work to nourish the whole person.
See below for an introduction to some of the ways that corporate partners can support MOWSF.
MOWSF ANNUAL STAR CHEFS & VINTNERS GALA SPONSORSHIP
San Francisco’s most exciting food and wine event of the year is Meals on Wheels San Francisco’s Annual Star Chefs & Vintners Gala. Northern California’s most illustrious chefs come together for this one-night-only epicurean extravaganza, which features an hors d’oeuvre and wine reception, a sit-down, three-course dinner, and a lavish dessert reception. Benefits of Gala sponsorship include on-site, print, online, and media recognition; tickets and invitations; and more. Please contact David Miranda, Director of Events & Corporate Relations, at dmiranda@mowsf.org or (415) 343-1280 for more information about Gala sponsorship opportunities.
HOSTING AN EVENT TO SUPPORT MOWSF
Hosting an event is a wonderful opportunity for you to support San Francisco seniors in need, while also receiving marketing exposure and valuable consumer contact. Your fundraising event can be a dinner, concert, bowl-a-thon, wine tasting, restaurant promotion, art auction, food festival, silent auction at an existing event, or even a portion of proceeds of a sold item. If you have an idea for an event to benefit MOWSF, we’d love to hear it. Contact David Miranda, Director of Events & Corporate Relations, at dmiranda@mowsf.org or (415) 343-1280 to learn more.
THE ANNUAL HOLIDAY GIFT DRIVE
Every year, MOWSF delivers holiday gift bags to more than 4,700 elderly San Franciscans. These gift bags contain small, useful gift items such as soap, toiletries, hand towels, boxes of tea, pens, and writing pads. By sponsoring the Annual Holiday Gift Bag Drive, your company can ensure that each senior we serve receives a special gift during the holiday season.
Your company’s donation of $3,500 will fund 500 gift bags, and we’ll help plan a gift-wrapping event at your office. Employees have the option of delivering holiday gift bags as well. Please contact David Miranda, Director of Events & Corporate Relations, at dmiranda@mowsf.org or (415) 343-1280 for more information.
EPICUREAN DINING CLUB
The Epicurean Dining Club is a unique way to support Meals on Wheels while enjoying a unique and memorable culinary experience. Each year, the Epicurean Dining Club raises more than $100,000 to provide meals and services to homebound seniors. Top-rated Bay Area restaurants donate tables for six, and these restaurants are paired with individuals or corporations that make a contribution of $3,000 to Meals on Wheels. Tables include a specially-prepared menu, wine pairings, gratuity, and special attention from the restaurant. Contact David Miranda, Director of Events & Corporate Relations, at dmiranda@mowsf.org or (415) 343-1280 for more information.
