Our Food is Making an Impact
This isn’t just practice. This is not just a test kitchen. Our cooking is delighting mouths outside the walls of our facility. Kaladi Coffee and Awake Denver are both customers of our baked goods. And we are also serving lunches to the local businesses in the area to rave reviews. But don’t just take our word for it.
Our students and interns produce meals in our Kitchen – The Ft Logan Eatery – for clients in our building, for pickup, or for delivery by Doordash or EZ Catering. This makes it easy for people in the Ft. Logan, Bear Creek or Sheridan Neighborhoods to take advantage of our offerings. Chef Suz plans, and our students and interns produce fresh, nutritious meals for our clients.
Earning a paycheck is a fundamental requirement to being self-sufficient. Without a job, it’s clearly not possible to maintain housing in the long term. Therefore, we are work focused, and all students in our program must be READY, WILLING and ABLE to Work. Applicants have to be:
Prepared: Explain how they are mentally prepared and free of substance abuse which makes them a good candidate for the Culinary Program.
Willing: Explain how they are willing to commit to this 12 month culinary program.
Able: Please confirm that you are physically able to complete this program which requires physical work and standing for long periods of time.
We are making great progress in the culinary program at Housed Working and Healthy and have graduated many students from our program. As we grow, we plan to add additional work areas beyond culinary. Each work area must meet the following criteria: currently hiring in the metro area; F/T wage over $30,000/year; and career path available. We want to help people with a variety of interests.
