Chef Steve and both the On the Nines and BOUK Catering families have been supporters of the Ada Jenkins Center for many years. 

AJC provides such important services to the Lake Norman communities in need and we are proud to be considered a partner and friend!

From the food pantry, medical services, educational programs and more, Ada Jenkins Center is an organization that the entire Charlotte region should highlight and support. 

We are excited to participate in Confections for Good this year amid the pandemic as a fun way to raise money for the invaluable programs and services.
