As the season brings us together in gratitude, we’re reminded how much your support means to the JPF and the communities we serve. Your belief in the power of cooking opens doors and provides vital resources that nourish both body and spirit.

When we launched our 90/90 series of events over a year ago, we hoped it would be a meaningful tribute to Jacques. We never could have imagined the truly inspirational outpouring of creativity, generosity, and hospitality we’ve seen nationwide—all part of a JPF community that you helped foster. Your support ensures that Jacques’s teaching philosophy continues to thrive in Community Kitchens across the country, giving people the confidence and skills to explore new opportunities.

This year, more than ever, we’re thankful for you: the people who believe that learning to cook can change a life.

The 89th Dinner in our 90/90 Campaign will happen next week in New York, and it’s the last chance to #CelebrateJacques before his actual birthday on December 18th. If you can’t join us in Brooklyn but you’d like to deepen your impact, your support today will keep the lessons and possibilities growing.

Thank you for being part of this generous, caring community.
