Sweet treats for Ada Jenkins

Feb. 1. February is the month of love, right? So the Ada Jenkins Center has a plan to help everyone prepare a little something sweet for someone sweet. Through Feb. 11, local chefs and home cooks are competing with awesome recipes in the “Confections for Good” competition: bit.ly/SweetsForTheSweet

Votes are $5 each and benefit families in Cornelius, Davidson and Huntersville who are facing economic, employment, and food insecurity.

All proceeds benefit the Ada Jenkins Center.

The competition includes three categories: desserts, non-alcoholic drinks, and cocktails.

Two winners will be selected: the chef/home cook/recipe that receives the most votes; and the chef/home cook who receives the most donations.

There’s still time to enter; register at bit.ly/AJCConfectionsforGood_participants.
