C-CAP Event

Chocolates à la Carte is proud to provide support to a wonderful organization called C-CAP, Careers through Culinary Arts Program. C-CAP’s mission is to promote and provide food service career opportunities for underserved youth. Through scholarships, programs and training, those you might not otherwise have the opportunity to get the chance to move into the enriching field of the culinary arts.

This past May Rena Pocrass attended C-CAP’s Annual Scholarship Award Ceremony held at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons Hotel. Chocolates à la Carte was honored to provide a lovely young student a $1200 scholarship. The event is always very rewarding to see so many hardworking students and future chefs accomplish such wonderful goals.

Wolfgang Puck Event

Chocolates à la Carte is preparing to participate again this year in the 24th Annual American Wine & Food Festival on September 16, 2006 in support of the Puck Lazaroff Charitable Foundation to benefit Meals on Wheels Program. Meals on Wheels strives to provide food to feed homebound elderly and disabled. The event is always such a success thanks to the continued support we are fortunate enough to receive from several volunteer chefs.
