Tapas With a Purpose: A Night of Flavor, Community, and Change

Help Now Hosts Successful Fundraiser to Combat Domestic Violence

OSCEOLA HERITAGE PARK — The annual Tapas With a Purpose event, hosted by Help Now, brought together chefs, community members, and advocates this Saturday for an evening of culinary delight and meaningful impact.

A Feast for a Cause

Guests indulged in an array of small plates crafted by local chefs, sampling diverse flavors while supporting a vital mission. Beyond the food, the silent auction offered an eclectic mix of prizes—art pieces, family game-night bundles, theme park tickets, and sports event vouchers—sparking spirited bidding and generosity.

Generosity in Action

The sold-out event raised over $40,000, a testament to the community’s dedication to ending domestic violence. The funds will empower Help Now to expand shelters, enhance legal support, and strengthen prevention programs, ensuring safety and stability for survivors.

Beyond the Plate

More than just a fundraiser, Tapas With a Purpose illustrated how collective action can create lasting change. A single evening of dinner and bidding transformed into a lifeline for those facing abuse—proving that even the simplest acts of support can spark powerful protection.
