St. Vincent Meals on Wheels presents the fourth annual “Hollywood Under the Stars” gala fundraiser on Saturday, June 21, at 6:30 p.m. at the iconic Paramount Studios lot.

This year’s 2025 Sweet Angels include Bertha Mae’s Brownie Co. and Lark Cake Shop, providing delectable desserts. Sip signature cocktails and dance the night away under the stars to a lively 10-piece live band courtesy of the de Bois All Stars.

Lifelong Hancock Park resident Rick Llanos serves as honorary host of “Hollywood Under the Stars 2025.” His connection to St. Vincent Meals on Wheels spans generations, beginning during childhood when his mother, Nellie Llanos, and her close friend Kathy Kilroy collaborated with SVMOW’s founder Sister Alice Marie in the 1970s. Llanos and his family continue to support SVMOW by participating in events and sharing the organization’s achievements.

“At St. Vincent Meals on Wheels, we are dedicated to serving the most vulnerable individuals in our community every day,” said Veronica Dover, executive director of St. Vincent Meals on Wheels and a Windsor Square resident. “The generosity of our donors, sponsors and event attendees is what keeps our program strong and allows us to continue delivering not just meals, but also love and compassion to those in need. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of our neighbors who rely on us.”

St. Vincent Meals on Wheels prepares and delivers food daily to homebound individuals in need. As a privately funded organization, the fundraiser is crucial to maintaining the program.
