IVC San Diego – 2026 Evening of Gratitude

The Evening of Gratitude is IVC San Diego’s annual celebration and fundraiser honoring our service corps members, partner agencies, and friends who make our mission possible. It’s an inspiring evening that blends community, storytelling, and gratitude – with the opportunity to support IVC’s work and sustain its impact in the year ahead. All proceeds from the event directly support IVC San Diego’s service and spiritual formation programs.

This year we are excited to honor:

Recipient of the Madonna Della Strada Award

The St. Augustine Foundation generously directs its resources to advance peace, justice, community development, and the empowerment of people locally, nationally, and worldwide. Headquartered in San Diego, the Foundation lives out St. Augustine’s teaching: “Find out how much God has given you, and from it take what you need; the remainder is needed by others.”

Recipient of the Sheila O’Malley Vision & Dedication Award

Chef Michel Malécot, founder and president of The French Gourmet, has long used his culinary expertise to support San Diego’s nonprofit community. Chef Michel is widely recognized for his generosity, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to helping nonprofits serve those in need.
