Chefs for a Cause

On July 12, Family Promise of Ouachita held its annual fundraiser, Chefs for a Cause. 4 local chefs donated their time and resources to help with this event. Chef Pat Nolan of Pat Nolan catering, Blake Phillips of Restaurant Sage and Chris McKnight of The Fat Pelican prepared a southern cuisine that consisted of baked chicken, rice pilaf, fresh summer squash and locally grown eld peas. Chocolate parfaits, pecan pie bars and ooey gooey bars were prepared by Tummy Yummy Creations. Trent Dion Soto, a local artist and lm producer was the keynote speaker. It was a great night of food and fellowship while getting to hear Trent’s inspirational journey. All the funds that were raised went to Family Promise of Ouachita for the continued operation of their day center.
