Last Thursday, we hosted a garden party at Kindred Kitchen to celebrate the completion of our brand new culinary kitchen! Staff and trainees cooked up a delicious three course meal and provided tours of the new kitchen to attendees.

This culinary kitchen has been in the works for a while now and will allow our training programs to expand what is offered to academy participants, while also expanding the catering capacity of Kindred Kitchen.

We want to wish a special thank you to the Gates Foundation for providing vital funding for this new operation. We can not wait to see the lasting impact of this expansion for years to come.
