A great group of kids that are part of Hemophilia of Iowa stopped by the WOW kitchen for a Chopped Challenge. The girls definitely put out a restaurant ready dish from a presentation standpoint the boys won the challenge on flavor. Great job to all of you.

Friends, I have had this idea bouncing around the last few days. I occasionally do pizza sales with different organizations for fundraising. I would like to do something similar this Holiday season. People would order take and bake or freeze pizzas for pickup in December. I would take all the profits and purchase food to make up pre cooked holiday meals for North Liberty families in need. My problem is distributing the meals once they are ready to go. How do I determine need and get it to the right place? Open to suggestions. Respond here or email me. [email protected]

For those of you that don’t know WOW2 got started with the idea that there are kids out there that need a job in need of skill. Our goal is to take in kids that have an interest in learning cooking and culinary and give them a Headstart in to either the workforce or onto a culinary degree. As we have been getting Z’s catering up and running WOW has kind of taken a backseat just from a financial standpoint. Last night 100 + Men Who Care made us the recipient of their fourth-quarter donation. This is the shot in the arm that we needed to get rolling. I cannot thank all of them enough. From the bottom of my heart this has changed us forever.
