SACSS 2022 Gala Night

The South Asian Council for Social Services (SACSS) held its 2022 gala November 2 in New York City. The guest of honor was South Asian cultural icon Madhur Jaffrey, who praised the organization’s food pantry, specifically the focus on providing culturally palatable food.

Jaffrey presented the SACSS’ Innovator In #FOODYOUWANT award to chefs Chintan Pandya and Roni Mazumdar of Unapologetic Foods. Other awardees included Congresswoman Grace Meng and entrepreneur Adnan Durrani.

The food was put together by Hemant Mathur, America’s first Michelin-starred Indian chef. The New York Kathak Dance Company provided the entertainment.
