Supporting the Culinary Training Program at Bracken’s Kitchen has such a huge impact on the students who would not have otherwise been able to afford a way to learn a rewarding and fulfilling trade in the culinary field. Donations are so important, and they really do help support our students through this training by not having the added financial burden to enroll and go through this fantastic program. These students will become the next generation of skilled culinary professionals thanks to your generous donations, and will set them up to be fully successful in their new careers.
The Future is Working is a collaborative effort of several Orange County non-profits that are dedicated to helping develop a stronger workforce. On April 2nd, Bracken’s Kitchen hopes to raise over $150,000! The Culinary Training Program at Bracken’s Kitchen is currently in its eighth session, training 16 students in culinary arts to prepare them for careers in hospitality. Our 22-week, 100% free program combines classroom learning with hands-on experience in a professional kitchen, as well as placement in an internship with a local restaurant.
Here's where you come in: Every donation – big or small – brings us one step closer to making a difference. Whether it’s:
$25, which helps us print the materials the students need for their classroom time
$50, which purchases their uniforms for the semester
$100, which helps us to purchase food for them to work with in the kitchen (which in turn is used in community meals)
Or $1,000, which purchases equipment and supplies for the training kitchen
Even if you’re not able to donate right now, sharing this message with your friends or family would be so appreciated. The more people we reach, the bigger difference we can make!
