Our Providence Culinary Training kitchen and classrooms are located in the heart of Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC’s warehouse, highlighting the connections between opportunity, health, and good food. Providence’s social enterprises include dining-for-a-cause restaurants, lodging, catering, and a community meals program that provides healthy, prepared meals for at-risk children and seniors. We invest in people to make individual lives better and to help our communities thrive.
