The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary gathered its members for a preview of its signature fundraiser, Celebrity Chefs – Tasting Luncheon and Silent Auction, which will celebrate its 38th year April 2024. The group of philanthropists met at Epping Forest Yacht and Country Club for their January meeting over breakfast as they enjoyed good company, faith-filled dialogue and camaraderie.

The ladies invited special guest and celebrity chef Matthew Roop to speak about his leadership role as the Northeast Florida Multi-Area Director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Roop took time to share the mission of supporting coaches, athletes, schools and congregations with the spiritual equipment to grow programs full of leaders and mentors on their path to achievement. The luncheon was hosted by Marilyn Carpenter, who graciously welcomed each guest upon arrival as the event kicked off Monday, Jan. 22.
