Featuring the Lifehouse Great Chefs and Wineries Community Partners
This year has been tremendously challenging on all of us but more so on small and local businesses. Great Chefs and Wineries is our annual fundraising event to raise funds for services and programs for individuals we support here at Lifehouse. This event (even when it’s virtual) is not possible without the generosity of all our Great Chefs and Wineries Community Partners. So, in an effort to say thanks to these amazing businesses, we have put together the ultimate holiday food and wine gift guide.
Just because you may not be able to relish in a festive meal and fine wine with your loved ones this year doesn’t mean that you can’t gift it or bring home to enjoy yourself! Please join us in supporting these incredible businesses because they need your help now more than ever. Click through below to find a gift that truly says “I care” this holiday season.
