The Social Kitchen x Ginger Pantry
NOTE! The Social Kitchen x Ginger Pantry is permanently CLOSED.
APR 2022: The Outreach Office’s partnership with The Social Kitchen (TSK) has come to an end.
What started out as a project to provide work opportunities for persons with special needs, has reaped fruits far beyond our imagination. The opportunity to work in St Mary’s TSK kitchen provided hands-on experiences that boosted the confidence and built the character of persons with special needs. Individuals are now working in commercial kitchens serving the public.
