Support the Chiltepes Chilerxs Project!

Please support the Chiltepes Chilerxs project Cooking Tour 2024!

The 2024 Cooking Tour is an opportunity for us to connect with each other, address our questions of identity and connect with our counterparts in our homeland through cooking workshops with Ramona, the president of DESGUA and head chef at La RED! She will be traveling to the United States to meet our community and allow us to connect through ancestral food practices. We hope you will be able to join us, but if not, please consider donating to make this tour a reality!

We invite you all to contribute to our fundraising campaign so that we can make this Cooking Tour a reality. By contributing, you will fund our ground transportation in each city, the costs of the workshop ingredients and the costs to reserve a community space to carry out the workshop.

The dates and locations for the Cooking Tour are as follows:

Austin, TX: October 2 & 3.

Portland, OR: October 5 & 6.

Bay Area, CA: October 8 & 9.

Los Angeles, CA: October 12 & 13.
