From Ascribe Newsfeed: For the fourth year in a row, members of San Francisco's food community have joined forces to organize SummerTini, a benefit on Friday, June 13 for the CHEFS program of Episcopal Community Services (ECS). The fourth annual SummerTini event will benefit Conquering Homelessness through Employment in Food Service (CHEFS), ECS's culinary training program that places homeless adults in gainful employment within the food industry. Today more than 85 percent of CHEFS graduates acquire jobs, which is a tremendous rate given the complex challenges associated with chronic homelessness that many face. Starting 24 years ago with the opening of the Episcopal Sanctuary Shelter, ECS has grown to 10 permanent supportive housing sites for over 1,000 formerly homeless individuals and families, two large shelters helping 500 people a night, senior services, and a skills center providing education and training. ECS's ongoing case management, access to healthcare, and employment services have all made a strategic difference in the lives of chronically homeless people. It's an event where you can do good, feel great and have lots of fun," said Pablo Wong, President of ECS's Board of Directors.
