CCHS COOKING CLUB
A Band of Chefs United In Service
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Service has always been the founding principle of the CCHS Cooking Club's mission. By teaching our young Chefs how to cook, we are devoted to not only creating more self-reliant members of the next generation, but instilling a sense of civic responsibility in our members, so they may use their skills to feed the less fortunate in our communities.
Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers across multiple events, we are proud to report that the CCHS Cooking Club and its members have been able to donate +1,500 lbs. of homemade meals and +500 lbs. of infant/toddler food and supplies to over 4,200 children and families across the Greater Miami area.
We cannot thank our Chefs and our sponsors enough for their continued support in our devotion to fighting the effects of food deserts* in our community! Adelante!
- Gabriel A. Perez (Founder/President, CCHS Cooking Club)
Did You Know...*
There are over 300 federally-classified food deserts in South Florida alone, meaning thousands of Floridians are experiencing persistent limited access to nutritious food every single day.
