But First, Dessert: La Festa della Primavera

Cultivating Hope & New Beginnings

Join us for the 5th Annual But First, Dessert Gala, Eddy House’s largest fundraiser of the year. Inspired by the beauty of the Italian countryside, this unforgettable evening brings our community together to support homeless and at-risk youth on their journey toward sustainable independence.

Just as a thriving vineyard requires strong roots, thoughtful care, and time to flourish, young people need safety, stability, and ongoing support to build their futures.

By meeting basic needs and providing counseling, life skills training, workforce development, and housing support, Eddy House helps create the conditions for that growth.

And like the care that sustains a vineyard through every season, this work depends on a community willing to invest in the long term.
