The non-profit Joey’s Food Fight has launched a new charity campaign to teach children at orphanages in Chicago and around the world valuable cooking and sanitation skills by building and operating kitchens onsite.

Highland Park, United States - November 28, 2023 /PressCable/ —

The non-profit's founder, Chef Joey Morelli, has recently launched the campaign to raise funds for orphanages in the Chicago area and worldwide to teach children and organizers how to source and cook their own food. The campaign aims to lay a basis for continuing food education that will be more self-sustaining and effective than simple donations to the orphanages.

Joey’s Food Fight’s most recent visit has been to Central Ukraine, where Morelli worked with the kitchen staff of a local orphanage to promote culinary practices incorporating nutritious whole foods sourced from local farms.

Part of the campaign also involves promoting the brand through a YouTube channel featuring entertaining and educational cooking videos to grow a supportive fan base and help fundraise. More information about the channel is available at https://www.youtube.com/@joeysfoodfight

Before his trip to Ukraine, Morelli visited the Hope House Orphanage in Cambodia, where he built a kitchen and taught the staff and children how to prepare tasty, budget-friendly meals. Morelli also plans to build a café near the orphanage to serve as a place of employment for the establishment’s wards when they reach adulthood.

Another long-term goal of Joey’s Food Fight is to visit a different orphanage in a different country every year, empowering young people all over the world with life skills to support themselves and their families for the rest of their lives.

Chef Joey Morelli has many years of experience in restaurant management and in culinary arts, and he has always been passionate about giving back to his community. As a StandUp for Kids Chicago board member, Morelli provides food to teen shelters three times a week. He also collaborates with Hope For The Silent Voices, a non-profit devoted to providing resources for severely disadvantaged women and children.

“I hope to leave a foundation for orphans all over the world to continue Joey’s Food Fight,” Morelli says. “Going to different countries, building beautiful kitchens for these kids, meeting them, making connections - that’s my legacy. Hopefully, as I get into my later years, the kids themselves will continue the legacy of Joey’s Food Fight.”
