Driven by his love for cooking and a desire to support children in need, Joey started Joey’s Food Fight to bring his unique blend of culinary expertise and humor to orphanages worldwide. As a board member for StandUp for Kids Chicago, Joey also provides food to teen shelters three times a week, further demonstrating his commitment to making a difference. In his journey, Joey’s Food Fight collaborates with other organizations, like Hope for the Silent Voices, to create a greater impact and change the lives of children in need.
Our Mission
At Joey’s Food Fight, our mission is to empower and educate children in orphanages worldwide through the power of cooking. We believe that by teaching them valuable culinary and life skills, we can help them become self-sufficient and confident individuals.
Our approach is both educational and entertaining, making the learning process enjoyable for the kids we work with. As we continue to grow and expand our reach, we aspire to collaborate with like-minded organizations and individuals who share our passion for making a difference in the lives of children in need.
Kids need backpacks and rolling carts for school this Fall. Seniors who are no longer using their bags are encouraged to repurpose theirs! OR buy one or two to donate! The Chamber at 2002 Walters is a drop off point, also Sunset Foods, and there are several Rotary homes too!!
Rotary/One President Nancy Kalchbrenner is hosting a unique bus‑and‑walking tour across Chicago, honoring the city’s memorials, flags, and Rotary history.
We’ll visit Mount Hope Cemetery, stop at the Paul Harris Home, and pass the new Obama Center on our way back to iconic Rotary sites downtown.
Afterward, stick around for a celebratory lunch recognizing our CPS Grant Recipients.
