At Growing Chefs! Ontario, volunteers are the pulse of our organization. In schools, in our learning kitchen, in the garden and out in the community - our volunteers bring life to our mission to change the way children, youth, families and the greater community learn about and develop healthy relationships with food.

With over 1000 hours of time spent volunteering in the past year, we are extremely grateful to the community of individuals who show up for us.
