"In my Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it, I'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade!" Although Vanessa's hair is actually too large for an Easter bonnet, it doesn't stop her from putting on a joyous show each year for our beloved family and friends at Tenderloin Tessie Easter Dinner.
Serving the needy of the Tenderloin neighborhood for over forty years, Tenderloin Tessie Holiday Dinners continues to give hope and joy to all who come to celebrate with us.
