From Grant Recipient Sarah Wolf [*]
“At Fresh Starts Culinary Academy, I embraced the idea that cooking is a path to self-reliance,” Sarah says. “Ultimately, I see myself in a community kitchen, preparing meals with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, from a repertoire of multi-cultural palates, while teaching and empowering people to grow and prepare their own food, following farm-to-table, sustainable practices. My dream is to use my passion for food to help others and to create and strengthen community.”
