Chef Duffy's Recipe

Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, Chef Brian Duffy had his first experiences in the kitchen as a young child with his big Irish-Italian Family. Those experiences introduced him to culinary life, and led him to study at Philadelphia’s The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. Culinary school may have taught him technique, but it was those Sunday nights cooking with his family where he developed his passion.

Chef Duffy is providing the recipe for the Smoky Fried Rice he will be preparing in his cooking demo.

Our Programs Make a Difference

ADOPT A VETERAN

Through donations and our corporate partners, we "adopt" veteran families and senior veterans during the holidays. We provide social activities such as a pancake breakfast and pictures with Santa, food, clothing, and Christmas presents.

COAT DRIVE PROGRAM

We have provided thousands of winter coats to needy veterans and children. Through our corporate partnerships, we provided over 3,500 coats in 2021 alone.

VETERAN & COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM

We partner with donors and various community organizations to provide food, clothing, furniture, rent assistance, utility bill assistance, and community medical services to veterans and their families.

VA CLAIMS ASSISTANCE

We are very familiar with the VA claims system and the Social Security Administration's SSDI claim system. We partner with experts in these areas and have veteran volunteers who have navigated these systems themselves. This provides a powerful support combination.

VETERAN HOUSING SUPPORT

We help veterans navigate VA programs that can provide access to short-term transitional housing, VA supportive housing, supportive services for veterans with families, per diem, and the 811 program.

AUTO DONATION PROGRAM

We provide donated automobiles to veterans with disabilities to help them with transportation and often to enable them to seek needed employment.
