Creating a Road to Recovery

Throughout the pandemic, East Side House remained on the frontlines. In response to the needs of the community, they launched a hunger relief program that rescues food from struggling farmers to feed 5,000 people per week and delivers meals for over 900 homebound older adults per day. Simultaneously, they continued to operate safe in-person learning services for thousands of students so that they could stay on track academically, even amidst school closures.
 
Now, East Side House is building a commercial-grade Community Teaching Kitchen that will provide the community’s young adults the opportunity to gain skills in culinary arts, warehouse, and inventory management, earn a drivers license, gain work experience, and be placed in jobs in the food and delivery services industry. The food these young people prepare and deliver will go directly to the families in the community who need it the most. Quite literally, these at-risk young adults will be feeding their own community.
