Men Who Cook

  Men Who Cook has been and continues to be a significant and meaningful part of our story. 

Over the past 25 years this event has grown to become our biggest annual fundraiser, with all proceeds benefiting the women and families that we service on the CT Shoreline.  

 The support that the Women & Family Life Center receives from Men Who Cook helps women and families move closer to economic security and success, access safe and affordable housing, take steps toward freedom from violence and harassment and build a community and confidence. 

Thank you to our chefs, community members and business leaders that attend and sponsor our annual Men Who Cook Fundraising Gala.  Because of YOU our 2018 event was a tremendous success; we had 33 local "Men Who Cook" chefs that served 175 guests at our sold out event.   

We look forward to celebrating with you this year!

Thank you to Ric Orlando who will be returning this year as our Emcee and guest judge!  New Haven native Ric defeated Bobby Flay on the hit Food Network series ‘BEAT BOBBY FLAY’ and is also a past ‘Chopped’ champion. Find out more about Ric here!
