I asked the kids if they'd be willing to do this again and talk to others too, and they said they'd love to. I hope we can do it again this year, but we have to speak to the chairperson and principal.

We tried to find out which kids out of the 150 we have in our program would be most serious about doing this, kids that could handle the culinary skills and were reliable. The kids were great. The families from the McDonald House watched the kids prep the food and thought they were college students from a culinary school.
