When a charity gala in Virginia Beach was postponed, the Hampton Roads Cancer Care Foundation found another way to help—donating 500 prepared gourmet meals to some local shelters. The food, originally meant for gala guests, was redirected to people facing hardship. The group says they chose to turn a setback into an opportunity. Shelter recipients thanked the foundation for the unexpected meals, calling it a welcome boost during a difficult time. Organizers say the gala will be rescheduled, but helping neighbors came first.
