ABOUT THE EVENT
On Thursday October 9, 2025, we gathered around 200 supporters, partners, friends, staff, and alumni to celebrate our 3rd annual Tastings Under the Timbers.
This year was extra special, as we celebrated "30 Years of Impact"!
The magical evening, included delicious dishes and desserts prepared by our restaurant partners 1906, Del Pez, Food Bank of DE, Grain, La Pizzeria Metro, Platinum Dining Group/Hearth Kitchen, Sleeping Bird Coffee, and Talula's Table; tasty beverages provided by Moore Brothers, Painted Stave, Triple Bottom Brewing, Wilmington Brew Works, and Yards Brewing; and smooth jazz sounds by E. Shawn Qaissaunee. Check out the event pics here!
We were thrilled to recognize our 2025 Alumni Awardee, Michael Santana, and to celebrate the long-term dedication and service of our Senior Instructor, Vince Hernandez. We thank our speakers, State Senator Darius Brown, Board Chair Charlie Copeland, and Secretary of Labor LaKresha Moultrie. The event raised critical general operating funds which will support our programs in the coming year.
