Hundreds gathered at Vancouver's Five Sixty last night to celebrate the 20th anniversary of A Loving Spoonful and honour the woman who started it all, in a star-studded night of fun and entertainment.
Along with performances from the likes of Sibel Thrasher, Tracey Bell, Symone, Moolina (Doug Cameron) and the cast of Wiggle, Aramas was honored by the organization for her ongoing work with A Loving Spoonful and their goal to ensure no one living with HIV/AIDS goes hungry. In the past 20 years, A Loving Spoonful has served over 1.75 million meals; grown from 5 clients to over 300; grown from 15 active volunteers to over 200, logging over 160,000 hours of volunteer time; and raised over 12-million dollars in private donations. “In 20 years we have accomplished more than I had ever imagined was possible,” said Easter. “I am extremely thankful for all the volunteers and donors that have generously supported us with their time and money, and extremely proud that we continue to deliver meals that are not just highly nutritious, but also provide our clients with a sense of community and show them that they are not alone or forgotten.”
