Food with Families

COOKING CONTEST | SEPT. 12-23, 2022

There’s no denying that there is some outstanding culinary talent in our company! From appetizers and desserts to entrees and sides, our employees worldwide have developed some delicious dishes. Here’s a chance to share your favorite while taking steps to support Family for Families, our Employee Hardship Assistance Fund.

All during the month of September, Family for Families is hosting a fundraising campaign. From September 12-23, when you sign up for a payroll deduction or make a donation to the program (requested, but not required), you can enter a recipe in the “Food with Families” Cooking Contest.* You can also vote on your favorite recipe!

Find us on Instagram: family_for_families

Here’s how it works:

To enter a recipe:

To participate in the contest, employees are asked (but not required) to sign up for the payroll deduction option or make a one-time donation on the Family for Families website.

  • Go to familyforfamilies.org and click on the “Donate” button in the top right navigation.
  • You’ll be directed to an online form that will allow you to donate through a payroll deduction or one-time credit card donation.
  • Please note on the form that your payroll deduction or donation is tied to the “Food with Families” Cooking Contest and include the name of your recipe.

Then email your recipe and a photo to
info@FamilyforFamilies.org!

  • An actual photo of the recipe/dish is not required, but some kind of photo is requested. Feel free to get creative! You can submit a selfie in your favorite apron; take a photo of your kiddo in the kitchen; or snag a snapshot of one of the main ingredients. The possibilities are endless!
  • Your recipe and photo will be added to the Family for Families Instagram page, where employees can check out (and comment on) a multitude of delectable recipes!

To vote on a recipe:

From September 12-23, the Family for Families Instagram page will offer a dazzling array of treasured employee recipes. Visit the page often to see the recipes and photos – often of the dishes themselves

  • To vote, go to familyforfamilies.org and click on the “Donate” button in the top right navigation.**
  • You’ll be directed to an online form that will allow you to donate through a payroll deduction or one-time credit card donation.
  • Please note on the form that your payroll deduction or donation is tied to the “Food with Families” Cooking Contest and include the name of the employee and recipe.

You can vote for as little as $1 per recipe! You can vote as many times as you’d like, and you can vote for more than one recipe, but a separate donation must be made for each vote.

You’re welcome to comment on and “Like” your favorite photos on the Instagram page, but the actual winning pet will be declared at the end of September when votes submitted with payroll deductions and credit card donations are tallied.
