Helping Community

CHRISTINA COOKS cares

“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much.”  Helen Keller

At Christina Cooks Catering Company, we believe that community is the heart of everything we do.

Beyond crafting delicious culinary creations, Christina has always been deeply committed to giving back and making a difference.

From supporting local charities to creating meaningful events, her involvement reflects a passion for fostering connection and care.

“When family comes together, amazing things happen! Through hard work, passion, and a shared commitment to giving back, we’re making a meaningful impact—one meal, one event, and one act of kindness at a time.”

Community With Heart

In 2018, Christina founded Community With Heart, a special event dedicated to helping those in need.

Through this initiative, guests are welcomed with a warm meal, haircuts, good company, and essential items like toiletries, clothing, and non-perishable food—delivering not just support, but hope and dignity.

100 Women Who Care

Christina is also a proud member of 100 Women Who Care, a group that gathers quarterly to pool resources and make significant donations to local charities.

Her dedication doesn’t stop there—she regularly sponsors sports teams, contributes to local events, and donates to causes close to her heart.

We believe that sports play a vital role in building confidence, teamwork, and community spirit.

By supporting local teams, we’re not just contributing to uniforms and equipment—we’re investing in the joy and growth of our community’s kids, ensuring they have the opportunities to thrive both on and off the field.

 

As a proud sponsor of the local girls’ soccer team, Christina welcomed the team for a fun-filled pizza party to celebrate their hard work and dedication. Great food, great company, and a well-deserved celebration for these amazing athletes!

Helping Feed

the Community

The Stouffville Food Bank received an incredible boost thanks to a community-driven food drive organized by Christina Assenza of Christina Cooks Catering and Community With Heart.

Boxes were placed at the entrances of St. Brigid and St. Mark schools, where generous community members dropped off much-needed items to help families in need.

This effort reflects Christina’s passion for making a difference and her commitment to supporting those who rely on the food bank.

It’s a wonderful reminder of how small acts of kindness can unite a community.

Stouffville Terry Fox Run!

We were proud to support the incredible volunteers of the Stouffville Terry Fox Run!

We donated specially curated treat boxes as a small token of appreciation for their dedication to this meaningful cause.

COVID: In This Together –

Supporting Our Community

During COVID, we found joy in spreading kindness, one doorstep at a time. Friends, family, clients, and residents were surprised with porch drop-offs filled with fresh, in-season, and locally sourced goodies—because a little unexpected treat can brighten any day.

We surprised some of our community members with hand-delivered treats and fresh produce—chosen at random!

Supporting local is at the heart of what we do, and what better way to do it than by sharing something delicious, fresh, and in season!

Giving back to those who give so much!

During COVID, we had the honour of donating meals to the incredible frontline workers at Markham Stouffville Hospital as a small token of appreciation for their dedication and hard work.

Involvement in town events

Christina loves being at the heart of local events.

Whether she’s volunteering as a judge at the town’s beloved Rib-Fest or lending her expertise to other exciting festivities, she thrives on celebrating the talent, creativity, and connection that make our community special.

For Christina, these moments aren’t just about food—they’re about supporting the vibrant culture that makes our town unique.

 

Girl Guides – Pizza Making

Christina welcomed the local Girl Guides for a hands-on, fun-filled ‘Make Your Own Pizza’ party!  The girls got to roll, top, and create their own delicious pizzas while learning a few culinary tips along the way. A perfect mix of creativity, teamwork, and, of course, tasty bites!”

Together, we’ve made an incredible impact, showing the true power of coming together as a community.

We are so grateful for your support and generosity in helping to strengthen our community. Every contribution, whether big or small, creates a ripple effect of kindness and hope for those in need.
