This month, we're excited to spotlight Michele M. and MORE's Culinary Training Program within our Life Skills Department! Michele has been part of the MORE family for more than 26 years and has spent the last seven years developing her skills in the kitchen. Her love of cooking began years ago at church camp.
"When there were hikes on terrain I couldn't go on, my mom would have me help in the kitchen. She'd put me on a stool and I'd peel 50-pound bags of potatoes," Today, Michele does much more than peel potatoes. Through MORE's Culinary Training Program, she has built a wide range of kitchen skills and has become a valued mentor to new program participants. Her willingness to help others learn makes her an important part of the team and a wonderful example of personal growth, leadership, and perseverance.
