African-American history month was celebrated in Europe with Mongiello's helping in a special way! Isn't that the way of today's settled immigrant to reach out and help others. We remember how hard it can be to get started. Even though Africans were chained and brought here before most Italians came - the fact that we were simply white - made our start that much easier. Did you see the TV show on the Vitaya channel or the TV Brussels channel? Teaming with seven cultures histories and gifts, Chef Marti brought together a wonderful sharing experience of the teamwork of America in New Orleans, Louisiana. This first ever event was a team effort of Estilo Productions and the well known European producer, Marc Boutsin.

Martin C.J. Mongiello supports numerous charity functions and charities themselves. The vast majority are via physical involvement and work with his hands and mind. Getting a, "check written out," is just as important as, "getting involved with hard work." Instead of celebrating Thanksgiving at home this year - why not cook for a hundred in a shelter? Or, instead of Christmas and gifts - how about playing Santa and visiting broken homes and needy homes in hard areas with gifts and smiles? A number of them are The American Culinary Federation Chef and the Child Foundation activities and cooking events that highlight the plight of childhood hunger in America have been a lifelong pursuit of Chef Martin CJ Mongiello. One in four children go hungry in America each day. These include presentations of Chef Combo in Japan to the Shunko Gakuen Orphanage, US DOD in Belgium,

the Connecticut and Maryland school systems in America. His involvement has also included cooking shelter food for Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen during Childhood Hunger Day. Other events have included personally assisting in Federal donations of food to the United Way, Connecticut Food Bank, The Manna Food Bank of Florida, Aloha Harvest of Hawaii, recipe development with Breedlove and Share our Strength in excess of $740,000.00 dollars. The Chef and the Child Foundation mission: "To address the dietary needs and nutrition education needs of and for children in America; - to be "the voice and army of the American Culinary Federation in its fight against childhood hunger in America." Chef Marti has also worked on Taste of the Nation events with Chef Jaques Pepin and marched at the first ever Childhood Hunger Day held in Washington, DC with Chef Paul Prudhomme, Doctor Dean Ornish and Chef Ann Cooper. In 2005 Marti was a Celebrity Judge for The Philly Cooks Competition along with Jeffrey Chodrow of the Restaurant Show on NBC TV, Philadelphia Magazine, the Fretz Kitchens, Mercedes Benz, Gallo Wines, Chefs Jean-Marie Lacroix, Joseph Poon, Brian Sikora of Django, Santé Magazine’s Elaine Khosrova, Food Network’s Bill Boggs, Saveur Magazine’s Roger Morris, Cynthia Teixeira of Williams-Sonoma, and Fer.Vor Magazine’s Leigh Donadieu to help raise over $150,000.00 for MANNA. Whether making rice cakes in Tokyo for the poor, cooking for thousands a day, giving up a Thanksgiving dinner to make one for the poor in a Norfolk, Virginia shelter or in teaching nutrition to children with his friendly puppet, "Chef Combo," Marti keeps busy! The US Directory of Chefs for Special Nutrition Partnerships in the schools of America listed Marti as inspiring children about food choices that promote health. At other times, Chef Marti has been found giving back to younger Chefs at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Miami and the Art Institute of Colorado Denver, Colorado, USA. Giving to the students of the world - Marti and Christopher Mathis donated time for free, conducted cooking demonstrations and addressed the largest university system in United States on this occasion.
