Junior Chefs Kitchen Gives

JCK Gives

One of Junior Chefs Kitchen's core pillars is community. We are focused on a strong commitment to fighting hunger and educating our students about how they can get involved. Students will learn about the importance of each organization and feel empowered to help serve their community.

We believe in transparency and have outlined more specifics on how we give back to our community below:

Monthly bagged lunch donations to Inspiration Corporation serving 200 individuals.
Monthly meal delivery donation to Lincoln Park Community Services serving 120 individuals across their two shelters.
