Here's how YOU can help!
CHEESE CENTRAL'S charitable programs
ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Proceeds from scheduled cooking contests or other designated events held at CHEESE CENTRAL will fund an annual scholarship toward tuition for a deserving student attending a cheesemaker program.
FOOD CLOSET
There are numerous cheeses in the world that have “Saint,” “ St.” or “San” as part of the name, developed over the centuries in monasteries or convents. A portion of the purchase of any of these cheeses from CHEESE CENTRAL will benefit a local food closet.
"NEW TO YOU" COOKBOOK SHELF
Bring any new or gently-used cookbook to donate to the "new to you" shelf. Receive a redeemable coupon towards half-off the purchase price of any other book on this shelf. All proceeds will be split between the Scholarship program and the Food Closet program.
Successful programs with generous donations raise the level of awareness that there is always a need to be met somewhere, somehow.
THE TEAM AT CHEESE CENTRAL
CINDY -- Cheesemonger/Manager. EDIBLE ESCAPADES Catering, BELLA MOZZARELLA Deli, and Chef de Cuisine at Woodbridge Winery has brought Cindy to the helm of Cheese Central with many years of food experience. Cooking, teaching, gardening, and writing about food has been the catalyst for Cheese Central's food product focus, and for the events we have planned for your enjoyment.
JOHN -- Craft Beer Manager. His interest in the art of brewing a fine beer will help our "Brewmonger" stock Cheese Central's shelves with delicious local brews, as well as some of the international classics -- very complementary to our fine cheese selection!
ADAM -- Craft Beer Assistant. Adam's motto? Two "heads" are better than one! As John's right-hand man, Adam is dedicated to finding great micro-brews to bring to your attention.
SARA -- Demo Kitchen Mgr / Instructor. Filling up our Demo Kitchen schedule with an interesting mix of chefs, speakers, and other presenters is Sara's main objective. A student of Le Cordon Bleu, Sara also shares cooking techniques and tips, and some of her special recipes in the months ahead.
GINA -- Marketing Mgr / Instructor. Directing Cheese Central's presence in the various forms of media, Gina is our "go-to woman" for creative production of ads and specialty items. Our Demo Kitchen benefits from Gina's sous-chef skills as well.
