Once again Charlie Hallowell and his team at Penrose/Boot & Shoe/Pizzaiolo host their monthly Sunday Suppers, where you get a lot of delicious food and drink served family-style while raising money for a great local nonprofit, the HOPE Collaborative. HOPE Collaborative works to support community-driven, environmental changes to reduce health inequities within the most vulnerable communities of the Oakland flatlands.

This Sunday’s Supper is at Pizzaiolo, at 5008 Telegraph Ave in Oakland.

The early seating is sold out, but our experience is that the 8 p.m. seating is great fun because there is no rush to leave after dinner. In fact, cocktails and talk continue into the night. And we have met some terrific new friends, encouraged by the communal tables.

Tickets cost $60 per person, wine included, for a multi-course, prix fixe meal.

A signature cocktail may be ordered throughout the night at the cash bar—100% of the proceeds will also be donated to the organization.

More about HOPE:

HOPE Collaborative is a group of public agencies, community-based organizations, and Oakland residents working together to promote the health and well-being of families and youth in Oakland. HOPE’s mission is to create community-driven and sustainable environmental change that will significantly improve the health and wellness of Oakland’s flatland residents most impacted by social inequities. The HOPE Collaborative envisions vibrant Oakland neighborhoods that provide equitable access to affordable, healthy locally-grown food; safe and inviting places for physical activity and play; and sustainable local economies, all to the benefit of the families and youth living in Oakland neighborhoods with the greatest health disparities.
