Get ready to tantalize your taste buds!
Join us for an epic culinary showdown at Cooking for a Cause 2025, presented in partnership with the incredible Agnes Restaurant and Cheesery in Pasadena. This vibrant and flavorful evening promises to shed light on the pressing issue of food insecurity in our local community, all while raising crucial funds for Friends In Deed’s Food Pantry.
Watch as talented up-and-coming chefs work their magic, crafting delectable dishes using pantry staples and surprise “mystery” ingredients sourced from our very own FID Food Pantry. After an intense hour of culinary creativity, our panel of expert chef judges will crown the champion of Cooking for a Cause 2025!
Join the $10K Crowdfunding Challenge!
Can’t make it to Cooking for a Cause? You can still be part of the action! In honor of Hunger Action Month, we’re raising $10,000 for the Friends In Deed Food Pantry—enough to provide groceries for hundreds of local families.
Every $63 feeds a family of four for a week, so your gift goes straight from pantry to plate.
Donate today and help us reach our goal!
