Support Alexandria House’s Top Chef Program
The Top Chef Dinner Program is Alexandria House's cooking program that serves current residents and other members of the Alexandria House community. It is a wonderful treat for women living in residence when volunteers drop off or deliver food! Just like you, they have a busy life with work, school and kids and can use a Ònight off Ò too! You can prepare a meal in your home kitchen and have a no contact drop it off before dinner time or order from local restaurants and have it sent directly to Alexandria House! They ask that food is dropped off to feed two groups of about 15 each. They begin dinner at 6:00pm, Monday - Sunday. Please plan to drop off or have food sent by 5:30pm. Please contact Valerie Johnson with any questions or to schedule a date to be a Top Chef!
