Support a Retired Firefighter Cooking for Heroes and Families in Need

As many of you know, I spent years as a firefighter, serving my community in times of crisis. Since retiring from the firehouse, I’ve found a new way to serve: through my passion for cooking. Today, I run my own catering business, but my heart still beats for the brotherhood of first responders and the communities they protect.

Right now, our nation is witnessing devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Brave firefighters are risking their lives on the front lines, and countless families have been displaced, losing their homes and their sense of security. These are unimaginable tragedies, and I feel called to help in the way I know best—through food.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be in Los Angeles, volunteering to cook meals for firefighters and displaced families who desperately need a hot meal and a moment of comfort. My goal is to provide nourishment not just for the body but for the soul, reminding them they are not alone in this fight.

How You Can Help

To make this mission possible, I need your support to cover the cost of:
• Food and cooking supplies
• Travel arrangements for my volunteer effort
• Additional expenses directly related to preparing and delivering meals

Every dollar you contribute will go toward making this effort a reality. Your generosity will allow me to work alongside other cooking crews in the LA area, ensuring that no firefighter or displaced family goes without a warm meal.

Why It Matters

As a retired firefighter, I know firsthand the physical and emotional toll these crises take. I’ve been there. A warm, hearty meal can make a world of difference. For displaced families, it’s a moment of care in the midst of chaos. For firefighters, it’s a powerful reminder that their sacrifices are deeply appreciated.

Join Me in Making a Difference

Together, we can bring some light to these dark days. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with your friends and family. No amount is too small, and every contribution helps me cook for those who need it most.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing with me as I stand with them.

With gratitude,
Chef Jeff
