Now, let’s get to the heart of it all. This event is not just about gourmet kitchens and delicious treats. For over a decade, the Tour of Kitchens has supported the Junior League of Cincinnati’s mission of advancing women’s leadership for meaningful community impact. They do it through volunteer action, collaboration, and training, in addition to enhancing the impact of the League’s ongoing programs and partnerships, like the Family Nurturing Center. In fact, the Tour of Kitchens is one of its largest fundraisers, and in 2022, it raised over $25,000 to support its mission and programs. 

So, why not satisfy your culinary curiosity while giving back to the community? It’s a win-win! To learn more about this exciting event and purchase tickets, head to www.jlcincinnati.org/tourofkitchens.
