NY Metro Chapter of the United States Personal Chef Association Dishes Up Culinary Donations to Support Troops in Afghanistan
The New York Metro Chapter of the United States Personal Chef Association (USPCA) is doing its part to help make the meals of our active duty troops a little easier. The group is packing and shipping gourmet ingredients for a fellow Personal Chef who left her life and business on hold in Houston, TX to cook for our troops in Afghanistan.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) April 26, 2005 -- "We were all so touched by Pat Day's generous spirit and courage that The NY Chapter wanted to be able to show her how much we admire her. We decided the best way we know how to show support would be to send donations of ingredients and other cooking items to support her culinary efforts," states Jennifer Urda, Vice President of the NY Metro Chapter of USPCA, and coordinator of this effort.
The NY Metro Chapter of the USPCA is a professional association for Personal Chefs from New York City, Long Island, and Westchester. Members share ideas, marketing, and help each other grow their Personal Chef businesses. Additionally, the group has become involved with culinary themed projects, the first of which is the fundraiser to raise money to send spices, ingredients, and cooking tools to Afghanistan. The initial effort has been extremely successfully under the leadership of Personal Chef, Jennifer Urda. Donations have poured in from many sources, including friends and family, retailers and other culinary professionals. Personal Chef members have so far collected monetary donations, as well as 30 different kinds of spices and various kitchen utensils from companies such as Williams-Sonoma, Wholespice.com, and the Just Because Foundation. The troops are sure to love the culinary treats Pat and her chef mates will create. The first few boxes, weighing over 70 lbs., are already on their way to Afghanistan. The members of the NY Metro Chapter of the USPCA salute Pat and her colleagues and look forward to hearing their wonderful stories of how all these great ingredients will be put to use!
The NY Metro Chapter of the United Personal Chef Association will continue to accept any donations for future shipments in support of Pat’s efforts in cooking for our troops in Afghanistan.
