A few of our programs

To further the ACF's commitment to humanitarian efforts, the ACFLI has developed the "Adopt A Kitchen" program. In this innovative endeavor, ACFLI chefs volunteer as "consultants" to many of Long Island's soup kitchens advising on subjects ranging from food preparation and purchasing to sanitation. The ACFLI was awarded a plaque by the "Every Fifth Child Campaign" for its outstanding work in developing the "Adopt A Kitchen" program.

At the ACF national convention in San Antonio, Texas the ACFLI was presented with the "Little Oscar" award form the National Office of "The Chef and the Child Foundation." This award recognizes the most outstanding chapter in the country for work that benefits the organization.

The ACFLI Certification Program has been assisting chefs to attain professional certification. Our goal is that one day, every chef on Long Island will be certified. The future is clear -- ACF certified chefs will be perceived synonymously with high quality food and it will not be uncommon for customers to inquire about the certification of every restaurant's chef.
