Fire's culinary arts program
bites is the in-house concession and catering initiative of the Fire Historical and
Cultural Arts Collaborative and this summer we are working with Youth Opportunities
Unlimited--a division of KRESA--and local Chef Howie Peak, in the licensed kitchen
of the Milwood United Methodist Church, to provide a Taste the Culinary Arts
program for interested students from the Kalamazoo Public Schools and our local
colleges.
The program is hands-on instruction in the culinary basics with an emphasis on
employability and work experience. The program has already catered multiple events
with rave reviews. Your purchasing a lunch delivered hot to your door will help
support the program and its goals.
