Thank you to our 2023 Sponsors and Auction Donors!

A Heartfelt Thank You from the East Boston Community Soup Kitchen (EBCSK)

To Our Treasured Supporters and the East Boston Community at Large,

Our hearts overflow with gratitude as we look back at our 7th Annual Fundraiser Gala for the Color of Comunidad. It was a night of memorable moments, and its success can be credited entirely to you. 

From the exceptional auction items to the emotional high of awarding our first-ever Coco Award to Mr. Lou Silvestro of Channel Fish, the gala was an evening of unity, celebration, and acknowledgment. Lou's relentless support for EBCSK over the past seven years has not only been noticed but deeply appreciated. 

We extend our deepest appreciation to State Representative Adrian Madaro and Salvatore LaMattina for their captivating MC roles, keeping the energy alive and ensuring all attendees had a splendid time. A sincere thank you to Mayor Wu for gracing the occasion and demonstrating her steadfast support for not only our community, but EBCSK. We're also incredibly grateful to Senator Lydia Edwards, for her unwavering support and City Council Members Gabriella Colletta and Ruthzee Louijene, who presented commendations to our key supporters.

Our event was made possible due to the unparalleled generosity of our sponsors and donors. A big thank you to our presenting sponsor, Avastus Preclinical Service, alongside - Elevated, Happy Valley, Rockland Trust, Eastern Bank, East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, Channel Fish, and Transom Real Estate.
