Learning to cook can transform a future.

There was so much that I gained from Fresh Starts. It all came together there. It was life-changing for me.

Teaching people to cook leads to more than just better meals at Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. As a program of Homeward Bound of Marin, Fresh Starts helps people stir up opportunities to overcome barriers like poverty or lack of housing. Hands-on training provides core skills that help graduates launch careers in restaurants, markets, schools, hospitals and cafes. You can support these new futures with a gift at hbofm.org/donate.

Together we can reach the goal of “ending homelessness with training, housing and hope.” hbofm.org/donate
