It's Fare to Share!

Food is one of the most basic needs of any living creature. Yet across our country, millions of children, women, and men go to sleep hungry every night. This is a way you can make a tangible difference. It’s a great program for bringing your team closer together, while making a worthwhile food donation to people in real need.

Our team building cooking classes involve food, competition and creative challenges. Your group will be divided into small teams who work together to create meals to share with local families.

This team building cooking event allows for a 3-pronged donation:

Hot food donations to area soup kitchens
Sandwich/snack donations for delivery to food drop-off sites
Food pantry “food bag” donations for families in need

When possible, staff from the benefiting organization will be on hand to receive the donations in person. Cooking for a Cause is a great way to strengthen your team and lift morale while giving back to the community.

A group of six participants in the 'Cooking For A Cause' team building event smiling as they prepare meals to donate. They are gathered around a wooden table, each wearing plastic aprons and gloves while assembling dishes in aluminum trays. The team is working collaboratively, spreading sauce and layering ingredients, likely for a lasagna or similar dish. This activity combines teamwork and community service by providing meals for local food banks or soup kitchens.
