Eat and Learn at Southside Kitchen: October 13 or 14

A Unique Opportunity to Eat and Learn | October 13 or 14

The SERVE Council is excited to provide a unique opportunity to eat and learn at the Southside Kitchen, a culinary training program of the nonprofit Green Opportunities (GO) and affiliated with the AB Tech Culinary Program. GO sponsors a number of job training and job placement programs to help youth and adults living in poverty get jobs to support their families and improve community and environmental health.

Students in the Kitchen Ready training program at GO serve community lunches every Monday - Thursday, from 12-1 PM, and incorporate produce from the on-site Southside Community Garden (and, occasionally, the GCPC Community Garden). Students are responsible for prepping, cooking, and serving, which allows them to gain valuable experience in both a commercial kitchen and front of house.

Because diners sit together at long tables, the meals provide an opportunity to informally meet folks from very different backgrounds. Donations from diners are distributed directly to the GO Kitchen Ready trainees, who use the income to support themselves and their families while enrolled in the training program.

RSVP by October 11 with Anne Callison Stokely.
