Toronto charity partners with celebrity chef to raise funds for food banks

Vij partnered with Cooks Who Feed to create red cotton aprons with the words "eat your hands" written on them.

Celebrity chef Vikram Vij is partnering with a Toronto charity to help raise funds for cash-strapped food banks.

Vij partnered with Cooks Who Feed to create red cotton aprons with the words "eat your hands" written on them.

"I've always been a fan of giving back to the community," said Vij, whose aprons will be sold with proceeds from each apron being used to provide 100 meals to those in need.

The aprons are handmade by marginalized women in India in an effort to support them financially, according to Seema Sanghavi, CEO of Cooks Who Feed.

Vij, who is Indian, says that was part of the appeal for him to join the cause.
