A nonprofit in the Bay Area is taking a whole new approach to helping the homeless. Instead of creating a soup kitchen where only those who are very poor come to eat, the nonprofit is creating pop-up dinners where the homeless prepare amazing meals with renowned chefs. Amongst those dining at these pop-up dinners are both guests who pay and homeless people who don’t. The idea is to provide a new type of job training for people who are trying to work their way out of homelessness while bringing people together around food in a different way.
This nonprofit feeds the homeless and provides job training at the same time
