Things To Do in TLH + Networking Events

Favorite Chef is looking for the next culinary icon to win $25,000, appear on the cover of Taste of Home, and cook with celebrity chef Carla Hall.

Amanda had been working in investment banking for more than 8 years by the time her son was born in 2021. She decided to leave her job at the end of 2021 to become a stay-at-home mom. Coincidentally, their kitchen renovation had just finished, and she was eager to get back to baking. She realized she had the perfect set to film a YouTube baking show, and officially transitioned from Banker to Baker. She then started the Happy Bake Day Show. | YouTube

Support Amanda to be the next Favorite Chef by voting here. Voting for the Top 15 ends on June 6th at 7 PM PDT.

Born in Guam and growing up in South Korea, Hawaii, and the housing projects of London, Tammy understands what it means to need. Her parents were missionaries, and her family lived where they worked. | Tal Dem

Tammy connects people to where there is a need for help. A legacy of philanthropy is the foundation of her life. She encourages people to identify a passion - hunger, shelter, healthcare, animals, whatever pulls at one’s heart, and look for a way to dive into that passion.

Safe Families for Children seeks to bring the church and community together to keep children safe and families together. Their goal is to support and strengthen families, prevent child abuse and neglect, and reduce the number of children unnecessarily entering the child welfare system.

For those interested in becoming a Safe Families volunteer, there will be an online event on June 13th at 7 PM: Safe Families for Children Volunteer Training - Part 1

As of May 2024, 100 Women Who Care Tallahassee has awarded over $382,500 in funding to many vital nonprofits serving the community. The latest, in mid-May, was $28,000 for Elder Care Services.

To date, they have chosen 15 nonprofits whose work runs from Alzheimer’s to human trafficking to homelessness to re-entry for people who’ve been in prison.

Virginia Glass co-founded Tallahassee’s 100 Women Who Care chapter during the pandemic with 65 members. Now, it’s 253 Women Who Care, plus a men’s group of about 100.

Virginia was recently honored at the 2024 Silver Star Awards by the Tallahassee Senior Center Foundation.
