Welcome to Chef to the Shelters, we’re glad you’re here.

Founded by Michael McCoy in 2021, Chef to the Shelters (CTTS) is a Dallas, Texas-based 501c3 that provides meals that reflect dignity and respect to sober transition and living homes for adults and adolescents. 

 

McCoy found his own sobriety in 2018 started CTTS in 2021. During the Pandemic, he discovered his passion and talent for cooking, and found extraordinary peace, purpose, and healing by serving those who walk the same challenging journey to sobriety that he started in 2018 and continues to travel today.
