Victory Programs is a multi-service nonprofit that works to address myriad issues: homelessness, the opioid epidemic, mental illness and more. But the name of this annual benefit nods to the inception of the Boston Living Center—now part of Victory Programs—as a series of community service dinners that offered care and comfort to those living with HIV/AIDS. Dinnerfest has become a major foodie draw for its silent auction, which features dozens of dining experiences culled from top restaurants around the city. You’ll also find hors d’oeuvres, a JetBlue airfare raffle and a chance to rub elbows with industry VIPs like cochair Elle Simone, the first black woman to join the cast of the hit show “America’s Test Kitchen.”
