Times are tough for most catering companies these days, but not for one of The Women’s Foundation’s Grantee Partners, Through the Kitchen Door, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday.
Founded by Liesel Flashenberg, Through the Kitchen Door trains low-income women, at-risk teens and, more recently, domestic violence survivors, in catering skills, as well as the trick of affordable cooking that is still healthy, delicious and attractive to the eye.
Something in high demand as the recession takes hold and companies and individuals look for responsible, affordable ways to cater parties and other events. With Through the Kitchen Door, not only do clients get excellent quality catering, but they’re also helping support local community development and job training.
A pretty tasty win-win.
Also quoted in the article, which explains how Liesel does it and even gives away some of her recipes and tricks of the trade, is Jeffrey Slavin, a member of The Women’s Foundation’s Washington 100 and a Guy Who Gets It.
The Women’s Foundation is proud to support Liesel and the amazing work she’s doing to help women in our region build stable careers that lead to financial independence.
Not to mention that we love the food and service and use Through the Kitchen Door for a ton of our own catering!
