Supporters from both sides of the border celebrated the humanitarian work of nonprofits Fundación Tijuana Sin Hambre and This Is About Humanity at the Con El Brillo de la Primavera (Spring Sparkle) gala dinner on March 16.
The charities run a relief kitchen that distributes 3,100 meals a day to 19 different shelters that serve vulnerable families at the border. Guests at the event, held at a private residence, were treated to dinner by renowned chefs Adria Marina, Lula Martín del Campo, Oscar Torres, Alfredo Villanueva, Maribel Villareal, and Ernesto Zamora.
Also, San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas honored philanthropist Monica Fimbres for her support for the relief kitchen.
