Scottsdale Culinary Institute Chef Jon-Paul Hutchins Lends Name to Worthy Cause

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (Nov. 4, 2007) – Executive Chef Jon-Paul Hutchins of Scottsdale Culinary Institute has teamed up with the United Food Bank in Mesa, Ariz. to raise awareness for the organization and its mission. The morning of November 9, Hutchins will take on a one-hour challenge to prepare a tasty, nutritious meal from one of the United Food Bank’s Emergency Food Boxes, live on KNXV ABC 15’s Sonoran Living. Donated from the nonprofit’s partnering agencies, these boxes are given to families in need of emergency assistance.

“I am honored to be working with the United Food Bank,” Hutchins said. “The organization serves such an essential role in the Valley by providing food for needy families. Ultimately, our goal is to teach these families how to make a great meal from a unique combination of ingredients, such as those found in the Emergency Food Boxes.”

Established in 1983, the United Food Bank of Mesa, Ariz., aims to alleviate hunger and act as a bridge between those in need and those in the community who want to help.
