Kudos to Chef Michael Paik and the Culinary Training Program!

Chef Michael and the Culinary Trainig Program are featured in this week's Napa Register!

Excerpt:

"Michael Paik teaches the culinary program through Community Action Napa Valley, or CANV, which gives homeless and low income people an introduction to the food service industry.

Give a man a fish and he eats one time. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Thinking along similar lines, Michael Paik, a veteran chef, has committed himself to teaching kitchen skills to homeless and other low-income people in Napa County who are having trouble feeding themselves, not to mention putting a roof over their heads. When the students graduate from Paik’s three-month culinary course, they are equipped to get self-supporting, entry level jobs in Napa Valley restaurants."

Food Bank

Sorry to take so long to answer.  A question was asked about the Food Bank.  At the Food Bank you need to fill out a one page application on site and provid one  form of ID, i.e. drivers license, passport anything with your name and birthday.  Also one current dated document with name and address within 60days.  This could be a bill, phone, P.G.E. .  I hope this answers your questions.  The Food Bank is located at 1755 Industrial Way.
