Food service job training for individuals facing barriers to employment.
The Teaching Kitchen at Community Servings is a free 12-week job training program for people interested in careers in the food service industry who face barriers to full-time employment. Many trainees accepted into the program will be eligible to receive earned training wages.
As they learn food preparation and cooking techniques, trainees also help our culinary team prepare the meals we deliver to our clients each day.
We are currently accepting applications for our upcoming sessions!
Class hours are 9am-4pm, Monday through Thursday. Attendance on Fridays is optional for those who like to complete additional internship hours in the production kitchen.

“These past months we became more than friends, we became family. I’m glad to have met all of you at Community Servings. You gave me another chance.”
While trainees are learning about different cooking methods and safe food handling, they’re also helping us prepare meals for our clients – it’s a win-win!
