The Chef Challenge raises money for CDAIDE, a local nonprofit that supports CDA-region hospitality workers in times of crisis. CDAIDE helps our local workers with housing, transportation, utilities, and medical/dental needs when a crisis would otherwise prevent them from being able to get by.

CDAIDE's mission is to serves Coeur d’Alene-area hospitality workers by meeting their immediate needs, connecting them with resources for long term self-sufficiency, and ensuring they feel valued, respected, and loved.
