"There is More on the Menu than Just Food"

At CHEF, we are more than a culinary training program—we’re a pathway to positive, healthy lifestyles rooted in recovery. Our mission is to equip individuals with the culinary skills, techniques, and behaviors needed to secure full-time, paid positions within the community.

We serve more than just food; we care about you as a whole person. Through hands-on culinary training and personalized recovery support, we offer an empowering, educational experience tailored to your goals and well-being. CHEF provides hope and opportunity, helping individuals break free from addiction and poverty. We work with those who are justice-involved, housing-insecure, or facing challenging times, empowering them to build healthier, more positive futures.

Our vision is to grow, expand, and make a lasting impact, helping more individuals on their journey to transformation and change. At CHEF, your success is our purpose.
