men who cook calendar

JOLIET – There is still time before Christmas to purchase Men Who Cook calendars from the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center.

Keep yourself on track during 2014 with a full-color wall calendar that features dozens of photos of our local cooks alongside the delicious dishes they served up during 2013’s wildly popular culinary competition. 

The calendar, which makes a great gift for the cook in your family, also features exclusive shots from the Men Who Cook Red Carpet and of course, Jackson, the Children’s Advocacy’s Center’s therapy dog.

The calendar costs $10; proceeds benefit the not-for-profit Will County Children’s Advocacy Center, which has been protecting children since 1995. To order, call the Children’s Advocacy Center at (815) 774-4565 or visit www.menwhocook.info. They are also available for sale at:

The Children’s Advocacy Center was created by Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow in 1995 to improve the way child abuse cases are investigated. The center’s trained staff performs child-sensitive interviews when there are allegations of sexual or severe physical abuse. Children’s recorded statements have been used in the successful prosecution of hundreds of predators.
