Vashon Youth and Family Services (VYFS) will benefit from a special five-course dinner at Nirvana restaurant on Thursday, December 13 at 6PM. "This idea came from our hearts to give something back to Vashon Island during this time of holiday festivities" says Nirvana’s Shivali Sharma.
Executive Chef Robert Erickson is teaming up with Pike Place Brewing Company to create a unique five course brewmaster’s dinner that incorporates one of the brewery’s beers in each dish as an ingredient as well as offering a taste of a brew that pairs well with each course.
Diane Kjellberg, VYFS Interim Executive Director says "We very much appreciate Nirvana’s generosity, especially during this time of year when the needs of our clients go up substantially." She said that this effort will help the agency’s Fall fund appeal, as well as assist other programs such as the VYFS-VIVA program that provides families and individuals in financial crisis help with basic needs. Assistance provided by the VIVA program includes vouchers or small grants for shelter, utilities, food, transportation, and other needs.
"Those who attend the dinner will not only enjoy a delicious meal but will contribute to our agency through this wonderful holiday fundraising effort" Kjellberg says.
VYFS is a non-profit organization that has been providing human services to residents of Vashon Island, Washington, for thirty-five years.
Tickets are $100 and may be reserved at the restaurant. This event will have limited seating. For more information and reservations contact Nirvana at 463-4455, NirvanaVashon.com or VYFS at 463-5511, vyfs.org.
