Culinary Training Gave Krystal a Career and Hope

When Krystal started the Culinary Training Program, she did not expect it to change her life the way it did.

“I didn’t think it was anything, and it was more than I could have expected,” Krystal said. “I wish everybody could come to this program. It’s giving me hope that I can have a career (to better support) my kids.”

Because of You, Hope Doesn’t Shut Down
