Give Everyone a Fare Shot

Although I haven't yet had the pleasure of becoming deeply involved with this organization, I need to draw some attention to Fare Start. As time permits I can't wait to familiarize myself more with them firsthand. Fare Start is a non profit that provides culinary job training for the homeless and disadvantaged individuals. Not only does it give these people the chance to mix their own recipe for success (yes, a little cliche); the organization also brings a bright idea to the city of Seattle. It puts expert culinary resources at the fingertips of people who otherwise might not have such an opportunity. It provides meals for those in need. More importantly, it provides training and tools to get people back on their feet. AND, it is just a really cool business model -- albeit a not for profit one. I tip my hat and my fork. -Kg
