WHAT IS GOURMETS FOR GOD?

Gourmets for God is a fun and unique fundraiser that brings together our spiritual community, family and friends to share a meal and create wonderful memories while raising funds to support Center for Spiritual Living Peninsula (CSLP). Event hosts create and sponsor an event that includes food or snacks and an interesting experience or fun entertainment.

HOW DOES GOURMETS FOR GOD WORK?

This is similar to a “silent auction”. Bidders will access the “auction” via the CSL Peninsula website, read through the list of events, check the dates to be sure they are available for the date of the event, and bid on one seat or “spot” at your event. The higher the bidding goes, the more financial support is given to CSL Peninsula. So, if your event includes a maximum number of 8 participants, the top 8 bidders will “win” a spot for the event. Once bidding is closed, the top bidders are notified that they have won, and you will be notified of the participants who will be coming to your event. CSL Peninsula will collect all monies from the winning bidders.

Bidders frequently bid on more than one event and generally the most popular event days are Friday evening, any time on Saturday, or Sunday afternoon/evening.

GOURMETS FOR GOD HOSTS

Gourmets for God hosts sponsor and host events that can be simple or elaborate. Some hosts provide pizza and others use their own unique passion and creativity to provide culinary delights. Examples of past Gourmets for God events include casual picnics at sunset, elegant meals with charades, a soup dinner with singing and entertainment, cookie baking and brunch, Mac N Cheese and Henna, or a crafting event with lunch. No cooking skills required. Costco and Safeway cook well! It doesn’t have to be fancy since it is just for fun and the joy of being together and making new friends. But, don’t let that stop your creativity if you are an experienced chef or a genuine “foodie”!

Hosts can sponsor more than one event. Perhaps you can cook, and your friend has a special talent. Pair up with a co-host to offer a distinctive event! Complete a separate Host Registration form for each event. Once your potential dates are determined and your plans are fully developed, submit your host registration form by March 31st. The planning team will contact you to confirm the date and time of your event(s). If you have any questions, contact Donah at donah [at] cslpeninsula.org or talk with Rev. Linda or Billy Aviles.

Please note: As the host/chef, you will be providing the food, drink and entertainment. All income from the silent auction benefits CSL Peninsula. Thank YOU!
