This approach addresses the most immediate need of hunger by feeding the food lines, but also helps to shorten the line itself by giving unemployed people the skills they need to become self-sufficient. Through the power of kitchens and cooking, students transform their lives from one of addiction, incarceration, domestic violence, homelessness, and unemployment, to lives of stability,... employment and a brighter future. Ultimately, KFG believes that kitchens can be economic engines for good in their communities. In addition to tackling issues of food waste, hunger and poverty, KFG ensures its own sustainability by building a profitable food enterprise at the core of each of its kitchens. This model creates on-the-job training opportunities for culinary students while generating revenue to reinvest into KFGs programs.
