Chefs and Undies
Our first guest is a local chef with a very interesting background. Thomas Swearingen is up for the Favorite Chef from Best of Home Magazine. Besides preparing food, his military background has allowed him to connect with people on another level. Thomas currently works with children in Northern Wisconsin and enjoys sharing his 20 years of military experiences. He says that sometimes it is not what you have cooked but who you cooked for. He's served Presidents to Congressional Medal of Honor winners. You can help propel him in the contest by checking out THIS web page. Then Karissa Buck and Lisa Jones stopped by from the Community Clothes Closet in Menasha. They're currently running a special drive to help secure underwear for residents in need. Underwear is something many of us take for granted – until we don’t have it. For the 11,200 individuals served by Community Clothes Closet, the comfort and confidence that come with a fresh pair of well-fitting underwear are often out of reach. When budgets are stretched, essentials like new undies take a back seat. Click HERE for details on The Great Undie Giveback!
