John Rivers, founder and owner of 4 Rivers Smokehouse, The COOP and The Sweet Shop, will visit Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida to prepare some culinary goodness as part of the Second Harvest Catering for Good program.
Chef’s Night brings local top chefs into Second Harvest’s Community Kitchen to celebrate fabulous food and raise money for Second Harvest. All proceeds help support Second Harvest’s Culinary Training Program, which puts individuals from our community to work as culinary professionals. This 14-week program provides hands-on cooking and kitchen training, similar to the curriculum of professional culinary institutions. Students also learn life and employability skills and receive employment assistance. This is an incredible program and one that’s transformational for participants.
