Three years ago today, we opened the doors to Chef Ric's storefront, a dream realized thanks to the incredible generosity of our community.

In 2020, Chef Ric and The Ottawa Mission embarked on a journey to find a new home for their
Food Services Training Program. The Aggarwal family stepped up, offering us the iconic space formerly occupied by Rideau Bakery, originally opened by the KardishFamily. Their selfless act has been instrumental in our growth.

To everyone who has supported us, from donors and volunteers to students and customers,thank you. Your contributions have helped us create a place where culinary and community thrive.

๐ŸŽ‚โœจBefore we were home to culinary dreams, our storefront space was a beloved Ottawa institution the Rideau Bakery that was started by the Kardish family! ๐Ÿž๐Ÿฅ

In 2020, as the FSTP program was growing, we needed a new home. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Aggarwal family, we were able to move into this space๐Ÿฝ

It's been an amazing journey since then, and we're so grateful for the support of our community. Join us on Monday September 9th for a FREE slice of cake with every lunch order to celebrate our 3 year anniversary! ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰
