My name is Christopher Smith, and I’m a 25-year-old executive chef and the founder of (YAH).
From a young age, I’ve always had a deep desire to help others through my art, and I found my true passion and purpose in cooking. Thanks to the unwavering support of my family and friends, I was able to channel that passion into a career. As a single father to a wonderful four-year-old daughter, I’ve learned invaluable lessons in patience, love, and resilience.

I can’t imagine my daughter ever growing up hungry, and that thought drives my mission to combat hunger—one child at a time. But I aim to go beyond simply feeding them. My goal is to teach each child the skills and knowledge to nourish themselves and their families, so they can continue this cycle of giving and care.

In times of crisis, I believe food has the power to bring us together. Join me and my team in our fight against hunger and let’s make a difference, one dish at a time.
