Community Culinary School of Charlotte

Have you heard of Community Culinary School of Charlotte? Their motto is: “Training in the culinary arts for the chronically underemployed adults.” In addition to several weeks of training in culinary arts, they also provide their students with the ServSafe food handling certification.

The CCSC works with Friendship Trays, the largest meals-on-wheels program in Mecklenburg County and with the Society of St. Andrew gleaning network. Click here for a definition of gleaning. CCSC students pay their "tuition" by volunteering with Friendship Trays and the Society of St. Andrew.

I just heard about this organization on the radio yesterday -- sounds like they are providing some valuable training and services.
