When I was a little girl I always loved to spend time with my Grandmother. everyone called her Nanny (EVEN HER CHILDREN). I remember sitting on a stool in her kitchen watching her cook, Talking with her, and being the taster for the dishes she would make. I will never forget how her bathroom always smelled of DOVE soap.

While other programs target youth and adults separately for employment in the food service industry, this program is unique because it specifically targets both Justice involved youth, and the Senior community; with a secondary focus on building, and repairing relationships.
Online programs, and six-week programs are alright training for those who seek employment, or culinary training. But this program is 12-weeks of in person, hands on, FREE Training, which builds not only healthy food habits, but also healthy relationships, and communities. We are closing old Wounds, and opening new doors.
