Ready for treatment but can’t afford the entry fees?

Don’t let money be the reason you or your loved one stays stuck.

Willingness changes everything.
If you’re ready, this is your moment.

Message us immediately.
Time matters. Your life matters. Recovery is possible.

I first worked with Sam at Fuse back in 2014. I was 10 years older than Sam and more green. I had cooked for years just not in restaurants. He taught me and we became fast friends as it was impossible not to be friends with Sam. When Hannah and I bought Finch in 2022 it wasn’t long after he came in as an employee. Sam was always kind, always early, and always friendly. I am better to have known him. There are a lot of people in the culinary industry here locally that care about him, as he is cared about by many Chefs and other industry professionals. We will forever be missing you from our Misen Place, Chef.

You had an excellent service.

The family asks that the best way to honor Chef Samuel Chilton is to make a donation to the Hale Foundation in his honor.
