One hundred percent of A Spoon Full of Hope's proceeds directly supports Second Harvest's no-cost 16-week Culinary Training Program, which provides qualified individuals with the culinary and life skills training to pursue a sustainable career in the food service industry. More than 425 students have graduated since the program started in 2013.
"Second Harvest has a longstanding history of being a change-maker – and we must adapt and innovate if we want to continue tackling the root causes of hunger head-on," said Derrick Chubbs, President and CEO. "The creation of the Culinary Training Program, followed by the development of a sustainable revenue stream to help fund it, are just two examples of how Second Harvest is more than a traditional food bank."
An 8 oz. option will be available for purchase at the start of December and the price point will be around $10.
This is the second expansion for A Spoon Full of Hope since launching in October 2018 with a tomato basil soup, four flavors of locally sourced honey and a classic shortbread cookie. Last year, Second Harvest introduced three new shortbread cookie flavors: Strawberry Lemonade, Cranberry Pistachio and Chai.
