About Fresh Chefs Society


Fresh Chefs began with a simple idea of sharing a meal with young people in foster care.  Food restriction and hunger are all to common for this population.  Over the years we developed robust programming to empower the young adults we serve.  They learn to cook - for themselves and others.  They learn to work in the food industry - and beyond.  And they are supported to create a life they own and value through food.

 

We're creative, effective and so grateful for your support.  Every dollar makes a difference!
