Salvation Army School of Culinary Arts Open House
The Salvation Army is proud to invite our friends from the media to The Salvation Army School of Culinary Arts Open House. The event will be held on Monday, June 28th at noon at The Salvation Army located at 800 McCallie Avenue. Guests at the Open House will learn about the program, sample our students' culinary creations, meet program participants and staff, and tour our facilities.
The School of Culinary Arts instructs local homeless and low income persons in environmentally friendly agriculture, meal preparation, and food service. The program culminates with a two-week internship in a local restaurant kitchen. Students will be considered for full-time employment at a partnering organization upon completion of the internship.
Two of the three graduates of the inaugural class have secured full-time employment and transitioned from homelessness to permanent housing. As the years progress, The Salvation Army excitedly awaits more stories of success and lives changed through the School of Culinary Arts.
For more information about the School of Culinary Arts Open House, please contact Will Hale at 423-308-7704 or will_hale@uss.salvationarmy.org. Follow The Chattanooga Salvation Army on Facebook, Twitter, and www.CSArmy.org.
