Hungry Hearts

On September 21, join Our Place and eight of the region’s top chefs for the 10th annual Hungry Hearts gala. 

An exciting culinary competition and gala fundraiser, Hungry Hearts is a celebration of Victoria’s culinary excellence and caring culture. Funds raised at Hungry Hearts are instrumental in helping Our Place provide crucial supports to those struggling with poverty, addiction, and homelessness in Greater Victoria.

This Hungry Hearts is a milestone event and pivotal opportunity to break the cycle of addiction for the women of Vancouver Island. Our Place is poised to open the first Women’s Recovery Program on Vancouver Island. This ground-breaking initiative is slated to open in the Fall of 2024 at the New Roads Therapeutic Recovery Community. It will be the sole long-term recovery program for women on the Island. All proceeds raised at Hungry Hearts 2024 will directly support Our Place’s Therapeutic Recovery Community, enabling them to provide urgently needed support to the most vulnerable people in society- women battling addiction.

Not just an incredible culinary event, but a heartfelt gathering of community and business leaders. Hungry Hearts brings together Victoria’s caring community and spotlights stories of compassion, inspiration, and hope. This uplifting evening features elevated cuisine from eight top chef’s, complimentary drinks, live music, grand auction, and meaningful networking opportunities. A delicious night out, with heart.
