"The Best Event in Baltimore"
- Mayor Sheila Dixon

Health Care for the Homeless held The 17th Annual Chocolate Affair on February 7, 2008.  More than 1,600 people packed into the North Club Level Lounge of M&T Bank Stadium to enjoy the culinary offerings of Baltimore's best restaurants, caterers, and chocolatiers.  With 56 vendors bringing an assortment of sweet and savory treats, The Chocolate Affair proved that it is the premier fundraising event in Baltimore.

Thanks to generosity of our patrons and participants, The 17th Annual  Chocolate Affair raised more than $120,000 to help elevate the suffering of the tens of thousands of people currently experiencing homelessness in Baltimore. Visit the links at the bottom of the page to learn more about how Health Care for the Homeless gets people off the streets and back into the mainstream.
