To close out 2017, Families Moving Forward held its Chefs for Change Dessert Gala at The Rickhouse, which included a tasting of local desserts, an auction, live entertainment and the unveiling of details for the 2018 Chefs for Change fundraising dinner series featuring distinguished chefs. This year’s chefs are Charlie Deal of Juju and Dos Perros in Durham and Jujube in Chapel Hill; Scott Howell of Nana’s, NanaTaco, NanaSteak and Bar Virgile; Phoebe Lawless of The Lakewood and Scratch; and Aaron Benjamin of Gocciolina. Proceeds totaled more than $10,000 for the night and $70,000 for the 2017 series. The funds raised benefit the nonprofit’s efforts to provide a temporary home to families who have children and are experiencing homelessness. 22
