As part of the LAHIA Culinary Pathway program, students will be preparing meals for the LAHIA community. Currently, LAHIA provides approximately 850+ meals per

week to the homeless and food insecure population in the Stuart/Port Salerno area of Martin County. The program

will also be a conduit through which community relationships are developed and nurtured as LAHIA reaches

out to other non-profit organizations and the people they serve. Our neighborhood collaborations create ways to nourish the community while empowering it's residents.
