BUFFALO, N.Y (WKBW) — Feedmore WNY is celebrating a major milestone.
The first group of students in its “Rise Culinary Workforce Development” program graduated on Monday.
The program is a free 14-week course, offering adults hands-on experiences in a commercial kitchen. Students can earn certifications and life skills, including resume writing and financial literacy.
“Basically breaking down barriers and helping people get a second chance,” said Allie Demers, program instructor for the Rise Culinary Program. “This program is our culinary program. We taught a lot of life skills, as well as cooking, baking, menu planning, sanitation. We had a lot of fun.”
This is part of Feedmore WNY’s new “Culinary and Food Manufacturing” program.
