I strongly believe that with great wealth comes great responsibility. In my case wealth isn’t monetary, but is my ability to cook and bring people together for a great cause. I hear so many people say that they don’t have a talent that would be helpful, but EVERBODY can do SOMETHING. Talk to the charity you feel compelled to help and tell them what your talents are and they will find a way to put that talent to use. There really is no greater reward in life than the ability to give back! I have worked with numerous nonprofit organizations in the community over the years, including:

Hollings Cancer Center
