Here at Project Foodie we spotlight recipes from a wide range of sources including restaurants, cookbooks, wineries, and bed & breakfasts. But this week one of our recipe spotlights was unique; unique because the recipe provided by Clos Du Val winery focused on an amazing San Francisco non-profit: Project Open Hand.  So, while I usually talk about on my food experiences, today I am going to talk about Project Open Hand and why Clos Du Val wants to help them.

Project Open Hand provides food and equally important, compassion, to improve the quality of life for ill men, women and children. Initially targeted at assisting people living with AIDS, Project Open Hand now provides 'meals with love' to people who are homebound with any illness living in San Francisco and Alameda counties, regardless of their race, color, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disability or ability to pay.  For more information please visit http://www.openhand.org/. 

In today's world it is inspiring to find companies that are passionate not only about their own mission but also about people.  Clos Du Val is one such company.  Why?  Well, when Project Foodie approached Clos Du Val for a spotlight recipe that pairs with one of their wines they responded with a recipe from Project Open Hand; Clos Du Val wanted to draw attention to Project Open Hand. We at Project Foodie applaud Clos Du Val for assisting Project Open Hand. We hope that Project Open Hand and other similar organizations throughout the country benefit from this exposure.
