June 6 food-tasting festival to raise funds

The 16th annual "LookWho's Cooking" food-tasting festival will take place 6-8 p.m. June 6 at Christ Episcopal Church, Washington Street, Toms River. Tickets cost $45 and can be purchased at the door.

"Look Who's Cooking" is a major fundraiser and a necessity to continue helping uninsured and underinsured women in Ocean County at the Family Planning Center, Lakewood.

Last year, more than 50 men, all amateur chefs - doctors, lawyers, accountants, business owners and government officials - offered a sample of their favorite recipe to more than 200 hungry guests and raised more than $17,000 for women's health issues, including cancer screenings and educational counseling.

The Family Planning Center of Ocean County is a nonprofit organization that has provided education and medical services to women since 1971. To purchase tickets ahead of time, to advertise in the ad journal or to participate as a chef, contact the Family Planning Center at (732) 364-9696.
