Nourishing Nights for a cause.

We are a group of local chefs, musicians, and a wine educator, feeling called to help our neighbors remain housed and fed through rent and food relief provided through the Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund, sponsored by the Family Housing Fund (FHF) in partnership with Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN).

Please join us the evening of Sunday, April 26, 2026 for a fundraiser, hosted at the Kumari Chocolate Studio in the North Loop of Minneapolis, featuring food, wine, music, and shared presence to benefit the Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund.

At this event, 4 local chefs will prepare a plated, coursed dinner each in their unique cuisines paired with wines from US-based immigrant winemakers, telling a vibrant story of wine, food and the diversity yet common connections of our shared experiences.

This event will feature:

Chef Abraham Gessesse - Hyacinth Restaurant

Chef Soleil Ramirez -Crasqui Restaurant

Chef Brooke Faudree - Quince Catering & Events

Chef Janel Sharma - Kumari Chocolate

Vanessa DeCourcy, DipWSET - Wine Educator with Sips Ensemble

Music by Pianist Misty Boyce of Lord Huron & Sara Bareilles

100% of the profits from ticket proceeds will be donated to the Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund, helping families in need of rent and food assistance.

We've created this campaign page to promote additional giving leading up to, during, and following our event.

Communities in the Twin Cities area have been devastated by anti-immigration activities that have upended daily life. Thousands of families have spent months sheltering in place. Many now face an urgent financial crisis: in March, households behind by up to three months on rent will be at risk of eviction.

The consequences of an eviction extend far beyond losing a home. That’s why we are raising money to ensure no neighbor faces this crisis alone. NHN is a community-led mutual aid network powered by volunteers. We are partnering with them and the Family Housing Fund to ensure donations made to this campaign quickly and safely reach those in need.

Please join us in supporting local families either by purchasing tickets for our in-person event or by contributing to this fundraiser campaign for the Twin Cities ICE Relief Fund.

All donations made via this GoFundMe page are tax-deductible.
