4TH Annual Dining to Deliver Gala & Auction
SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 2025
Blackhawk Museum, Danville
Enjoy an elegant evening of good food, complimentary wine, amazing auction items, dancing to a live band, and tons of fun all for a good cause. This popular event brings together the community with the goal of raising funds to help Meals on Wheels Diablo Region continue to deliver nutritious meals and supportive services to the growing number of seniors in our county. Someday, you or someone you love may need Meals on Wheels Diablo Region, and your participation as a guest, sponsor, or an auction item donor, will ensure we will be there today, tomorrow and into the future.
Meet Our Gala Auctioneer!
Ellen Toscano, the Singing Auctioneer, has been a professional singer, actress, and stage performer most of her life. After graduating from New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts in 2005, Ellen spent ten years as a lead performer in the longest-running musical revue in the world - San Francisco's "Beach Blanket Babylon."
With the dream of combining her two greatest passions of performing and helping others in a profound way, she began her journey as a charity auctioneer in 2016. She quickly realized that she could use her musical abilities and skills as an entertainer to help nonprofits like MOW Diablo Region!
Meet Our EMCEE!
Meals on Wheels Diablo Region is excited to welcome NBC Bay Area’s Chief Meteorologist and Emmy award-winner, Jeff Ranieri, as the Emcee at the 4th Annual Dining to Deliver Gala. Jeff, who holds the American Meteorological Seal of Approval, appears on NBC Bay Area news Monday through Friday at 5, 6 and 11 p.m.
In addition to the weather and feature reporting, Jeff also enjoys getting involved in the community and lending his time to numerous nonprofits, including those like MOW Diablo Region who work to fight food insecurity and improve the lives of those most vulnerable.
Before joining NBC Bay Area, Jeff was based in New York City with NBC News, where he worked as a correspondent for NBC News & MSNBC and served as the Weekend Today Show Meteorologist and Early Today.
