Today, El Gaucho will serve its 2,500th meal at Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission’s Men’s Shelter to homeless individuals. Over the past year, El Gaucho’s chefs and staff have donated, prepared and served healthy and delicious lunches every third Wednesday to anyone who walks through our doors. Executive Chef Matt Brandsey will prepare a meat pasta.

“It’s truly our pleasure to help out and be a small part of the big things the Mission does,” said Cooper Mills, general manager of El Gaucho.

Last year, the Mission served 64,000 more meals, totaling over 500,000 meals. Why? The Mission believes that a single meal can lead to changed lives. Day after day people come through our doors for a meal and then leave a year later changed men and women because they entered our long-term programs.

“El Gaucho is really serving second chances to thousands of people who are without hope and desire a change life,” said Jeff Lilley, president of The Mission. “We are so appreciative of their dedication to serving the needs of this community.”

El Gaucho and Aqua, members of the Mackay Restaurant Group, both serve lunch once a month at the Men’s Shelter.
