2021 Golden Heart Awards

This year’s dinner was a intimate in-person event, with a virtual option, as we continue to prioritize the safety of our guest and staff in the COVID-19 pandemic. We are thrilled to honor Don Lemon and Billy Porter with special performances from Dionne Warwick, Cyndi Lauper and the Broadway Inspirational Voices!

God’s Love We Deliver was founded at the height of the HIV/AIDs pandemic, and we’ve risen to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since last March, God’s Love has added 6,000+ new clients to the program. God’s Love is now cooking and home-delivering more than 10,000 meals every weekday. Your support is urgent and crucial.
