Deets: St. Vincent Meals on Wheels (SVMOW), the largest, privately funded senior nutrition program in the country, will stage their second annual “Hollywood Under the Stars” fundraiser, on the Paramount Studios lot on Saturday, June 24. The event gets underway at 6:30 pm, with a VIP reception commencing in the Paramount Theatre at 5:30 pm.
The event will also pay tribute to actor Martin Sheen, who has supported St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, along with other philanthropic organizations such as the St. Joseph Center, the St. Francis Center and the Malibu Labor Exchange, with the “Vincent’s Heart Award”, presented by the Daughters of Charity, whose order established St. Vincent Meals on Wheels. The Award takes its name from the order’s founder, St. Vincent de Paul, in recognition of Sheen’s “standing in solidarity with those who have been forgotten and discounted.”
New this year will see the designation of a Host Angel Chef Isaias Peña, Caruso Regional Executive Chef of Hank’s and Qué Padre in Palisades Village to serve as the event’s culinary ambassador.
Longtime supporter Rick Llanos will serve as the event’s honorary host.
