Chefs for Humanity Information

Every day I think about food. As a chef, food is my passion and my profession. But Im acutely aware that in too many places all over the world, children and families are thinking about food too, because they dont have enough. After the devastation of the 2004 Tsunami, I decided to take on hunger and dedicate energy to connect with others to help bring relief to those in need and provide needed education on nutrition to improve health and well-being. Having seen the faces of hunger in children in Haiti, New Orleans, Honduras and beyond, I know we can make a difference. We all have a part to play in leveraging our individual and collective talents to reach others in need here at home and overseas. I hope youll join us as we develop Chefs for Humanity into a substantial force in reducing hunger worldwide. We are committed to promoting nutrition education, hunger relief and emergency and humanitarian aid to reduce hunger worldwide. There are nearly one billion hungry people in the world more than the combined populations of USA, Canada and the European Union. 98% of the worlds hungry live in developing countries with the least resources to tackle this challenging problem. Floods, famine, hurricanes and war affect all of us, whether at home or overseas. Events like Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the earthquakes in Haiti brought devastation to many. Helping to ensure immediate and reliable access to water, food and nutrition is one way Chefs for Humanity provides help to others in time of great need.
