Kitchen uses food to change lives all throughout community
PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (KDKA) In the heart of Hazelwood, the rhythm of progress and aroma of promise attracts a special team of budding professionals.
“This is CKP. That’s what we call the abbreviated version. Community Kitchen Pittsburgh,” said chef trainer Garland Richie.
Richie showed KDKA’s Kym Gable around the kitchen. Community Kitchen is a non-profit organization powered by food and fueled by a passion to pay it forward.
Enrollment in the four-week culinary program is free to students who are accepted, many of whom face barriers to employment and challenges at home. The kitchen provides training and stability.

The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 17. Lent is a 40-day season of reflection and preparation before the celebration of Easter. It is also the season of fish fries when tons of battered fish and side dishes are produced in the kitchens of churches, fire halls and restaurants.
The pandemic shut down most fish fries last year but many are returning this year, operating solely as take-out operations.
