I am very excited to be working with Serve Our Willing Warriors an all-volunteer tax exempt organization creating the Bull Run Warrior Retreat. The Retreat is in Haymarket, VA on 44 acres at the foot of the Bull Run Mountains. The 11,000 square foot house will provide “a home away from home” for our outpatient Warriors and their families residing at nearby hospitals.

While the remodeling is underway I will be working on developing the Visiting Chef Program. We envision a program partnering with chefs who come and create once in a lifetime magnificent meals for our injured warriors and their families. As part of the program we will be planting a garden to take a farm-to-table approach to providing meals with fresh vegetables and herbs.

If you are a personal or restaurant chef willing to occasionally volunteer your time to prepare delicious memorable meals for our Warriors and their families please contact me at zilliox(at)live.com. It is a chance for you to do what you love and give back to those who have given so much for us.
