Hungry families will find food and children and their parents facing homelessness will find housing and help thanks to a recent Trilogy Service Club event that raised more than $31,700 for The Nipomo Food Basket and 5 Cities Homeless Coalition.

Trilogy Service Club members, led by event chair Donna Rubin, organized a lavish “Masquerade Gala” at The Monarch Club at Trilogy with entertainment from Jon Stephen and Sound Investment, a special menu by executive chef Charles Weber and live and silent auctions. Over 60 local wineries, businesses and individuals donated more than $20,000 in auction items and services. Major sponsors included Alfano Motors, The Jean Morton Results Team, Pacific Premier Bank, Shea Homes, The Monarch Club, NKT Commercial, SLOCO Data and Printing and KVEC 920AM | 92.5FM Radio.

“Our mission is to volunteer and fundraise for local nonprofit organizations serving families in need,” said Yvonne Williams, Trilogy Service Club President. “5 Cities Homeless Coalition and The Nipomo Food Basket both provide essential services in our South County. We are pleased that so many individuals and local businesses in our local community joined with us in this worthwhile effort.”

The Nipomo Food Basket serves more than 100 families each week, and will use this generous donation in their effort to establish a future Building Fund in order to grow and better serve the needs of our local community.
