7-Course Dinner and Fundraiser at Thali

Please join us on April 12th, 2022 for a 7-course meal prepared by Chef Joe Totthungal from Thali & Coconut Lagoon and Food for Thought’s Executive Chef, Scot Cunningham. The evening of fabulous food and wines (see menu below) will be hosted by Guild VP, Marie-France Champagne.

When we asked Joe how we could help contribute to offsetting some of the financial stress endured throughout the pandemic and the occupation of the Downtown core, he immediately replied that he would prefer that the funds raised from this event be donated to Food for Thought. This is a charity that Joe helped establish during the pandemic and he continues to support its worthy cause. Joe has been awarded the Order of Ottawa, the United Way Eastern Ontario Community Builder Covid Hero Award, and has an Honorary Degree from Algonquin College for his community work, generosity and philanthropy.

Food for Thought aims to “Fight Hunger With Hot Meals and Community Ties”, serving over 1000+ meals a day to those in need in our communities.

We are excited at the opportunity to see you again!

There are only 65 seats available for this event.

Members may purchase more than one ticket.
