100% of the Cooks Who Care Community Cookbook sales will go towards a community fund for people who work in the food and beverage industry in the Great Philadelphia region, including South Jersey and Delaware County. Proceeds from the cookbook sale will provide financial assistance for mental health support (often not covered under insurance plans).  

Additionally, they are accepting donations through this fundraising link.

Right now, they are collecting subtitle ideas on Facebook where folks can submit their ideas, and the community can vote on the best one.
