There are many ways to give to Mount Saint John, which include financial support, in-kind donations or you can volunteer your time. In this section of our site, you can see how to put your donations to work and also find a wish list of items needed for our boys.

     Help us purchase and install professional grade kitchen appliances and equipment for a new teaching kitchen for our Culinary program.

      Our goal is to raise $14,250.  Your gift can help make it happen.

      Installing a teaching kitchen, with professional grade appliances and equipment, demonstration and student work spaces will provide the right environment for our boys to learn about food handling, cooking techniques and nutrition.

      You might not think that helping boys learn cooking skills could change lives. Here’s what some of our students are saying…

          “The Culinary program is teaching me to prepare and cook in a safe manner”

Joey G. Age 17 in 10^th grade

 “I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life. The cooking program helped me know that there was another option”

Casey S. Age 17 in 12^th grade

 “The culinary class is the best part of my day.   Now I can cook and take care of myself”

Terrell D. Age 16 in 10^th grade

      Please help us make this new teaching kitchen possible. Your donation will help our students:

• Develop culinary skills to get a job
• Learn to cook for themselves and their families
• Build self-esteem and confidence

      You can truly make a difference! Your investment in our new teaching kitchen for the Culinary program will help young men achieve success and build a better life.

      Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.
