TEAM’s 17th Annual Men Who Cook fundraiser will be held on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025. This is TEAM’s Annual Event to raise funds for our many life-changing programs that benefit thousands of individuals & families across our community.

We hope you will be able to join us for an evening of culinary creations from dozens of volunteer chefs in our community, along with drinks, dancing and raffles.

TEAM’s Men Who Cook fundraiser is essential to keep programs such as Meals on Wheels, housing and food support programs, income tax assistance, home heating help, the regional diaper bank, medical transportation for older adults, and so many more running and able to meet the needs of all who are in need of a little help. With over 16,000 of our neighbors in the last year alone turning to TEAM in the most difficult of circumstances, we hope you will stand alongside us as we aim to ensure all who turn to us have the support and resources they need.
