distinguished CHEF ALUMNI

We at Families Moving Forward are so grateful to the following chefs for donating their time and talent to our Chefs for Change Series. Durham is lucky to not only have an incredible food scene, but leaders in the culinary community who care the issues around family homelessness, affordable housing, food insecurity, food deserts and using local products.

The success of the CFC Series is dependent on these talented and bighearted folks and we thank them all for their support. Please let the chefs know how much YOU appreciate their involvement the next time you enjoy a meal at their restaurant.
