CHEF J. JOHO HOSTS NO KID HUNGRY® DINNER WITH
GUEST CHEF JACQUES TORRES
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 AT EVEREST in CHICAGO
Since 2005, No Kid Hungry dinners have raised nearly $5 million to support the No Kid Hungry campaign, ensuring that kids across the U.S. have access to the nutritious food they need to lead healthy, active lives. In March 2012, Share Our Strength, the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the Illinois Commission to End Hunger, and Governor Pat Quinn joined forces to form the Illinois No Kid Hungry Campaign. The campaign works to increase enrollment among eligible children in Summer Meals and School Breakfast programs.
“From
the first day we met I have always embraced my friend and colleague
Jacques Torres,” says Chef Joho. “This is a collaboration between two
French chefs working in two different American cities who are coming
together for one special evening in Chicago. I hope this first annual
dinner will have an enormous impact for Share Our Strength and help fuel
the fight against childhood hunger.”
“As
a chef, spending so much time cooking for others, food and nutrition
are near and dear to my heart,” said Chef Jacques Torres. “I believe no
child should live with the stress of hunger and support the No Kid
Hungry Campaign so children across the country will have access to the
nutritious meals they need.”
The cocktail reception starts at 6 p.m. with dinner seating at 7 p.m. Tickets are $500 per person with table hosting opportunities available starting at $5,000. Make reservations at 202-478-6528 or visit strength.org/nkh_chicago.
