Chefs Helping the Homeless Marks Its 14th Year in Fort Lauderdale

Broward Partnership brings back Chefs Helping the Homeless for a 14th year this September, a fundraising dinner built around South Florida chefs and restaurants donating their time and talent for the evening.

A Surprise Dinner Experience

The evening starts with a cocktail reception before guests are taken by limousine to a restaurant that isn't revealed until they arrive. Once there, diners are served a multi-course, wine-paired menu created specifically for the event — a format that turns the destination itself into part of the evening's appeal.

Fourteen Years of Impact

Since it began in 2007, Chefs Helping the Homeless has raised more than $1 million to support Broward Partnership's work with individuals and families experiencing homelessness, making it one of the organization's longest-running fundraising events.

Good to Know

Chefs Helping the Homeless takes place Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 6:00 to 11:30 PM in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The specific restaurant location is kept secret and revealed only on arrival. Tickets and event details are available at bphi.org.
