Our Mission

“We use food as the foundation to change lives and strengthen communities.”

We believe that every person who comes through our doors is inherently worthy and has the potential to reach and exceed their goals, regardless of their past or present. We work to provide opportunities for success and lifelong careers to those who work with us.

 

We offer training programs, transitional employment opportunities, apprenticeships, and job placement services that are designed to meet participants where they are and connect them with stable, higher-than-entry-level positions in culinary or adjacent industries that lead to wage progression and professional growth.

Thanks to our generous donors and proceeds from our social enterprises, all programs are at no cost to participants, helping to remove financial barriers and create more capacity for every individual to reach their full potential through better jobs and professional advancement – ultimately gaining the stability needed in their lives to succeed.
