National Service Group to Sponsor 18^th Annual SOS Celebrity Chef Dinner

 

Matt Stewart, Co-founder and CEO of National Service Group will sponsor the Share our Selves (SOS) Celebrity Chef Dinner with a check for $3,000.  The dinner is held annually in an effort to provide for the poor and needy in Orange County.  The proceeds for this event will go to the Share Our Selves Orange Aid Project that was started in 1992 which seeks to gather excess food from local vendors to give to the needy.

 

This year’s dinner will be held on October 11 at the Hilton Orange County in Costa Mesa and will feature local chefs from Orange County’s premiere dining establishments.  

 

Stewart, who has been an active supporter of Share Our Selves since 2003, also sits on the board of trustees. In addition, many of the staff at National Service Group have volunteered at SOS, donated money and goods through a company food drive, and office clothing collection.

 

“Our company loves helping SOS, because SOS does a great job of assisting the community.  We know a large portion of our donations go to direct aid.  We know that there are people in Orange County that need our help.  SOS has been a wonderful source of that help for 30 years and we plan to assist SOS in their mission for over 30 more,” said Stewart.

 

Stewart, who has been involved with SOS since 1999 has worked in various aspects of the organization including packing groceries, and working with the “Adopt a Family” event during the winter holidays.
