Volunteers
No event of this magnitude can be successful without the assistance of dedicated volunteers and ours is no exception. Take a look at our volunteer guidelines and join us for a wonderful day!There are a variety of roles to fill no matter your area of expertise or interest.
In support of our mission to focus on the common denominator of food to bridge cultural, social and economic divides among young people, we seek the assistance of individuals and business who wish to help a financially disadvantaged child attend our program and events.
We currently have a list of approximately 50 children who are eligible and waiting for a scholarship and we expect that list to grow longer. Each $75 contribution provides the means for one of them to attend our Kids Culinary Convention, an event that can make a profound difference in their life. It's also tax deductible! Please send us an e-mail for details on this process: info@jrchefcentral.com.
