I've always been passionate about cooking and giving back to the community. With a background in Restaurant Management and Culinary Arts, I've spent years in the restaurant industry, working in some successful places. But my heart lies in making a difference in the lives of children in need. That's why I founded Joey’s Food Fight, where we empower and educate kids in orphanages worldwide by teaching them valuable culinary and life skills. It's amazing to see these young ones grow into confident individuals, all while having a blast! I'm a firm believer that learning should be fun, and that's exactly how we approach our mission. At Joey’s Food Fight, we blend education with entertainment, making the cooking experience enjoyable for the kids we work with. In addition to running Joey’s Food Fight, I'm also a board member for “Stand Up for Kids Chicago,” where I provide food to teen shelters three times a week. My heart is in every dish I create, whether it's for these shelters or my little chefs at the orphanages. My latest adventure took me to 'Hope House Orphanage' in Cambodia, where I raised funds to build a kitchen and teach the staff and kids how to prepare delicious meals on a budget. It was a rewarding experience, and I'm already planning my next mission! I believe in leading by example, and that's why I strive to create a better future for children everywhere. My goal is to visit a different orphanage in a different country each year, empowering these kids to continue cooking and supporting them throughout their journey. Join me on this incredible culinary journey! Let's cook for a cause and make a positive impact together. Your support means the world to us, and together, we can create a better tomorrow for these amazing kids.
