My personal hands-on experience with food service, private catering, meal prep for children in foster care, those with HIV/AIDS (i.e. multi-session healthy relationships, medication management, advocacy, and disclosure) and food preparation for church functions (i.e. anniversaries, special meals for leadership) and daily/weekly meal preparation for those in community.
