COOKING UP NEW OPPORTUNITIES

DELAWARE CULINARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TAKE FIRST STEPS TOWARD SECOND CHANCE.

WHEN STUDENTS GO TO CLASS IN THE CULINARY SCHOOL AT THE FOOD BANK OF DELAWARE, THEY ARE PUTTING A BRIGHTER FUTURE ON THE MENU. Food bank spokeswoman Kim Turner says most students had been unemployed or underemployed, and others, referred by the Delaware Department of Corrections, are re-entering the workforce. They all are looking for a second chance at success.

“To become a community free of hunger, we need to provide individuals with job skills so they can find employment making a living wage,” Kim says.
