On Monday, October 20, 2026, God’s Love We Deliver held its 20th annual Golden Heart Awards at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in Manhattan, honoring Julia Louis‑Dreyfus, Misty Copeland and Andrew Scott, according to Vogue.
What happened
The fundraiser attracted about 700 guests who filed up the steps of the 121,000‑square‑foot cathedral. Michael Kors, a longtime supporter, co‑chaired the event with honorary chair Anna Wintour. The evening featured remarks from past Michael Kors Award recipient Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka, a fall‑inspired menu, and the presentation of the Golden Heart Award for Outstanding Humanitarianism & Cultural Impact to Andrew Scott.
What the reports add
Vogue noted that the venue’s 177‑foot ceilings echo the charity’s origins in a small West Park Presbyterian Church, where volunteers once delivered 50 meals per day during the AIDS epidemic. The article also highlighted that Michael Kors has been involved with the organization for 35 years and that an award bears his name, previously given to figures such as Hillary Clinton and Sarah Jessica Parker.
What was said
Michael Kors told Vogue, “I always say these people are the picture—I just make the frame,” adding that presenting the award feels “a pinch‑me situation and it never gets old.” God’s Love We Deliver President and CEO Terrence Meck joked that the gala was “the best Monday night of the year,” contrasting it with the other major fundraising initiative Wintour leads each May.
How it came about
Founded in 1985 with a single meal delivery, the organization expanded from a church on West 86th and Amsterdam to serving medically tailored meals to over 40 million New Yorkers today. The Golden Heart Awards have become a flagship fundraising event, marking two decades of growth and celebrity support.
