La Cocina Mexican Restaurant and Catering, located at 515 FM 359 in Richmond, will host its 11th Annual Cinco de Mayo fundraising event benefiting Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels (FBS) on Saturday, May 7th from 5 to 10:30 pm.
Fort Bend Seniors CEO Manuela Arroyos said, “For the past 10 years, the Cinco de Mayo fundraiser has contributed more than $250,000 towards feeding and caring for our seniors. Fort Bend Seniors is able to feed an abundance of seniors citizens in need each year with the help of La Cocina Restaurant and its owners Andres and Rachel Novoa.”
Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels provides more than 1,300 hot, nutritious, home-delivered meals to seniors who typically live alone and are unable to prepare their own meals. In addition, the organization offers older adults congregate meals from 11 site locations, transportation to and from the center, health screenings, recreational activities and other programs.
“We are blessed to live in a community that is so giving,” said Andres Novoa. “Not only are we raising money needed to feed our seniors, but we are also reaching volunteers and creating awareness right here in our backyard as we help crush hunger among our elderly!”
Event activities include a live band, live and silent auctions, raffle drawings, drink specials and great Tex-Mex cuisine. Purchase individual VIP tickets for $105 each or sponsor a VIP table, ranging from $400 for a table for four to $850 for a table for 10.
