Now in its 33rd year, the annual food event raises money for Mama's Kitchen charity, which provides home-delivered meals to critically ill San Diegans
When a San Diego caregiver launched the local charity Mama's Kitchen in 1990, her goal was to deliver healthy meals to the home-bound men who were fighting for their lives at the height of the AIDS epidemic. One year later, Mama's Kitchen launched Mama's Day, a Mother's Day weekend fundraiser where local chefs, catering companies and hotels hosted booths where they prepped and served unlimited food samples to ticket-buyers at the event.
” In its first decade, Mama's Day fundraising was dedicated to serving HIV and AIDS patients. But by 2006, when improved drug regimens dramatically reduced AIDS deaths nationwide, the Mama's Kitchen board voted to expand the organization's mission to include cancer patients. In recent years, delivery has expanded to provide meals to any minor children living with clients, as well as adults with heart disease, diabetes and other debilitating conditions.
