“We were thrilled to be able to award $30,000 to St. Vincent de Paul after last year’s Golf Fore Giving event,” said Foundation Board Chairman and event organizer Bob Kaliski. “That $30k enabled St. Vincent to provide 15,000 meals to needy families in our community and we are grateful to those who supported the event by either participating in golf during the day, attending the banquet in the evening, or both.”

Each year the St. Vincent de Paul Free Dining Room serves more than 250,000 meals, providing the only sustenance of the day for many of their diners which includes children, senior citizens, people with disabilities and the homeless. Currently they are the only Free Dining Room in Marin. They have provided hot meals every single day since 1981. They do this without government support thanks to the generosity of the donors and the fundraising efforts by many who value and support the work they do.
