“We serve food to people who aren't just homeless, but who are also down on their times,” Weaver said. 
The volunteer-driven nonprofit, which also offers tutoring for kindergarteners through third-graders, is getting swanky Saturday night. Tickets to Someone Cares' 25th anniversary gala sold for $135 a pop; all of the available 110 tickets sold, Weaver said.
She said that type of community involvement is what's helped them thrive for a quarter of a century.

“The event is called 'Dreams Come True' and it's about having 25 years of support from our community, a grassroots people.”

Some local bigwigs, like former Newport Beach Mayor Evelyn Hart, who serves on Someone Cares' advisory board, are scheduled to attend.
