🤝 WE NEED YOU! (+ Meet the local heroes keeping our kitchen open!)
Yesterday, we shared the amazing news that Kids Out to Lunch is reopening this Friday, August 7! Today, we want to introduce the incredible local cooks who stepped up at the last minute to make it all possible.
Please give a massive community welcome to Bren and Steven Lieske! 🥳
Bren is a familiar face to many, having cooked for local affairs in Harmony, the Laramie Soup Kitchen, and UW’s Washakie Dining Center. She's been a volunteer and community partner with Feeding Laramie Valley since its inception, and grows most of her own vegetables at home! Her husband, Steven, brings fantastic experience cooking for a ski area and a natural food restaurant called Murfs in Portland, Oregon.
The ultimate dynamic duo: Bren grows the veggies at home, and Steven cooks them up! We are honored to have their talent in our kitchen.
❤️ How You Can Help Bren & Steven:
To support our new cooks and make these next two weeks a success, we need extra hands in the kitchen and dining area from August 7 to August 21!
Can you spare an hour or two? Free meal included! We need volunteers for:

• 🍽️ Food Serving: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
