Six students SUCCESSFULLY completed their ServSafe Foodhandler course and exam with us! Thanks to our partners at FoodShare South Carolina for trusting us with the training!

As the FoodShare South Carolina Teaching Kitchen gets closer to operation, several of our staff successfully completed ServSafe® Food Handler training from the National Restaurant Association. This will ensure we are trained in responsible food service measures and we can't wait to put lessons learned into practice in our kitchen!
