Gerardo earns a new job!

We first met Gerardo as a homeless guest eating three-times-a-day in our kitchen.  We were delighted when Gerardo accepted to be part of our kitchen staff.  His energy and passion to learn were contagious!  Six months later, long-time Bistro supporter, CommonWealth Coffee, asked our Executive Chef Lorris, if he knew of any good job candidates.  Lorris immediately recommended Gerardo who went for an interview and was hired on the spot!

Fundraising Golf Tournament organized by Haynie and Company was a BIG SUCCESS!
