Be a HeArt & Sole sponsor—and be the heart and soul of DC.

Be a part of DC’s hottest party of the year—and show your compassion for people experiencing homelessness—as we strive to provide #onemillionmeals for our community. Together we can make a world of difference, because no one should live hungry and homeless.

HeArt & Sole is the signature event of Central Union Mission, Washington, DC’s oldest private social service agency—featuring Hell’s Kitchen Winner Chef Rock Harper. Chefs from all over the area volunteer their skills to provide gourmet tastes of their own creations. The glamorous evening includes a VIP chef competition, live entertainment and appearances by local celebrities—all to help provide #onemillionmeals for hungry and homeless neighbors.

Don’t miss your chance to be a HeArt & Sole sponsor and to show your community spirit to 1,000+ committed Mission supporters.
