HCOTT & #HungerActionMonth

My friends from Tabletop Media Group and I teamed up last year to launch the inaugural Hottest Chefs of the Triangle Calendar. This was a fun way for us to celebrate the vastly talented chefs in our area while raising recognition for the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina's efforts in making sure #NoOneGoesHungry. We were more than psyched to see the amazing turn out for our first year and can't wait to share with everyone our 2018 calendar!

September is a particularly meaningful month for us, as we highlight #HungerActionMonth in our calendar. Hunger doesn't discriminate against race, religion, age or gender. We've all experienced hunger on some level or another, but there's no excuse for our neighbors to go without a meal. Without a nourishing meal, how can we be our best selves at work, home or play?

September is the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina's special month to showcase how people can get involved with active ways for people to help solve hunger. The most important step is taking action. It takes a village comprised of state and federal nutrition programs, public-private partnerships with corporations, retailers, and agriculture leaders, and community support in the form of volunteering, funds, and food donation to make this happen. It starts with giving what you can. There are so many ways for us to help our nearly 630,000 neighbors across central and eastern North Carolina who know a little too well what it means to run on empty.

Our small action to help fight hunger has been to create the Hottest Chefs of the Triangle Calendar. In honor of #HungerActionMonth and the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina's efforts to make sure #NoOneGoesHungry in our area, we are offering a special on our calendars. Purchasing a calendar will not only brighten up your year as you flip through the chefs, but also by helping our neighbors in need. Please check out more info here and stay tuned for details for our upcoming 2018 Hottest Chefs of the Triangle Calendar!
