Community Kitchen Cooks Up Job Opportunities for Pgh Residents
All this week, the City Cast team is treating you to some of our favorite food and drink episodes from 2022. If you're hungry for a story about making the local culinary scene more inclusive and accessible, consider this your holiday gift.
The Hazelwood nonprofit Community Kitchen Pittsburgh says it uses food as “the foundation to change lives and strengthen communities.” It does this through culinary training, hunger relief, catering, a cafe, and more. City Cast's Megan Harris spoke with executive director Jennifer Flanagan and Community Kitchen student Christopher Hickman about their training programs, how they tackle hunger, and more.
