In the world
of food, restaurants and chefs, there is a lot of giving and serving.
Accordingly, we are not surprised, and always impressed, by the contributions of time, money and food that we see chefs and restaurants making to charity, around the region and country. As a leading culinary education institution, we try to do our share with fundraising, scholarships and the support of non-profits in our field.
Following is a summary of ICE®'s charitable support in the areas of:
- Ongoing support to education
- Hunger relief-at home and abroad
- Helping the New York City Community
- Disaster Response
- Support of culinary and foodservice trade groups
