Chicago Chefs Cook for Ukraine by Lifeway Foods

Join your favorite Chicagoland chefs for a delicious and one of a kind evening dedicated to raising funds for World Central Kitchen's work benefiting Ukrainian refugee families in need of a nutritious meal.

Guests will enjoy dishes from our city's greatest chefs as well as beverages donated by Breakthru Beverage Group.

Sponsors and VIP guests will enjoy exclusive access and early admission to the event at 5:00 p.m.

The event is hosted by Chef Tony Priolo, Chef Sarah Stegner, Darren Gest, Eda Davidman, and Green City Market.

Chicago Chefs Cook for Ukraine is presented by Lifeway Foods, makers of America's favorite probiotic kefir. A staple of the Eastern European diet for centuries, kefir has a storied connection to the health, wellness, and community bonds that are built through the sharing of kefir cultures between families and friends.

Green City Market is proud to sponsor this event and to facilitate the event operations as we believe everyone deserves access to nourishing food.

Event proceeds will benefit World Central Kitchen. Thank you for covering your Eventbrite processing fees to ensure we maximize our support of Ukrainian refugees.
