First Annual Dinner In Support of Youth Entrepreneurs building food businesses
What is the CrEATivity House?
My name is Chantel Jackson and I am an Giantslayer. In the entrepreneur world a Giant is something that stands before us , something that is so great and powerful and seem as though they cannot be defeated, whether it be capital, support, fear and resources, but I am here to tell you that with faith and determination we can slay any giant
In Tacoma, the beloved city of destiny, one of those giants is having a commissary kitchen that can hold and support small food businesses. The purpose of this campaign is to raise funds for a commissary kitchen, that serves as an incubator to small food businesses. It will be the pillar of the community, where people of all race, gender, religion can learn to run a food truck, package foods, host cooking classes, tastings , pop- up events and much more.
As you can imagine, building a commercial kitchen is an expensive project, and we need your help to acquire the much needed equipment. This includes: convection ovens, gas cooking ranges, stainless steel work tables, food-grade shelving, baker's speed racks, sinks, sanitizing dishwasher, lights, sheet pans, and much, much more.
Although this is our Long Term Goal, I have the vision of building the programs first and our building will come
Here is what we currently offer:
Homeless Feeds - Partnered w/ My sisters Pantry
Youth Program- Food Biz Fridays, Partnered w/ Mt Tahoma Highschool
The focus for this dinner is to raise funds for our youth program at Mt Tahoma,
the program is a 10- week program that teaches students how to open a food booth business. Whether it be a lemonade or hot dog stand ,by the end of the program they will have everything they need to start their food stand . In which they can use at local festivals, and possibly at their own school fairs.
