Join us for a decadent and inspiring fundraising event hosted by Volunteers of America Colorado, benefiting vital shelter programs in Durango.

This unique evening brings together local restaurants, bakeries, and talented community members to showcase their most creative and delicious chocolate-inspired creations in a friendly competition judged by both a panel and event attendees.

Guests will enjoy an unforgettable night featuring a curated tasting experience, a silent auction, wine, appetizers, live music, and a meaningful program highlighting stories of resilience and transformation from shelter guests whose lives have been changed by these services.

Proceeds from Chocolate Fantasia directly support the Durango Community Shelter and Southwest Safehouse, which provide critical services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and survivors of domestic violence.

At our shelters, guests receive more than a safe place to stay—they are provided with three daily meals, compassionate support, and personalized advocacy to help break cycles of homelessness, abuse, and instability.
