Center Table
They say a kitchen is the heart of a home and nowhere is that truer than at Brighton Recovery Center for Women. In 2012, the Recovery Center turned on the burners for CENTER TABLE, Catering with a Purpose with three goals in mind: provide the residents with real-world job experience in the food industry to help them transition back into the workforce, generate income to support the Recovery Center’s services, and build a collaborative and supportive team among the women.
