The need for food programs has increased by over 30% compared to last year. We here at ABC 6 are teaming up with four local restaurants to raise money for the Channel One Regional Food Bank. The money raised will help people right here in our area!

We have four chefs from your favorite local restaurants, Pondy’s, Townies, Corona’s Tacos and the Rochester Clinic Lotus Program. Each team will get ingredients found in the Channel One Regional Food Bank to work with. They have one hour to make an incredible main course dish. 

Then that’s where YOU come in! Vote for your favorite team by donating! The team that raises the most money will be crowned the winner of the Chef Challenge.

All the money raised goes to help Channel One and local families in need!

Channel One has tremendous buying power and can stretch each dollar effectively! Making a monetary donation is the best way to help support food shelves in their efforts to acquire, rescue and distribute food the most efficiently! Let’s help them! Who are you going to vote to see cook up some good grub?
