Creating a Built-In Mentoring Network
Service Recipients Become Service Providers
Culinary Arts students are service recipients, who, through their participation in the program and work producing meals, become service providers.
Reducing Food Insecurity and Food Waste
The on-site kitchen allows for greater receipt and storage of donated food. These items are used in Center meals as well as to shore up existing food distribution programs at the Center. Many of these produce donations would have otherwise ended up in landfills. This utilization combined with our active compost program works to reduce the Center’s environmental impact.
