“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Culinary Program: Since 2014, Mannas Culinary Program has focused on teaching job/life skills and food service industry knowledge to vulnerable populations to help people overcome their barriers to achieve gainful employment. The majority of students accepted into the program face many barriers to employment; economically disadvantaged, experiencing homelessness, learning disabilities, lack of education/job skills, and employment gap. Manna collaborates with other agencies, community members and businesses to provide students with additional services, helping to reduce barriers to employment. Students learn in a supportive environment that fosters self-sufficiency, solid work ethic and self-confidence. Manna is contributing to the overall health and economic vitality of our community, one student at a time. The Culinary Training Program fulfills basic needs through weekly stipends, supportive services, provide resource and benefits navigation, and build skills that can help one obtain or improve employment. We believe that this array of onsite resources will strengthen protective factors and resiliency for individuals and families, by improving economic stability, physical/mental health, and overall wellbeing for underserved populations in our community. We partner with Big Picture High School and Wolverine Academy to offer youth the opportunity to attend the Culinary Program. In 2023, 23 students graduated from the program.”
