Culinary Students Feed Fond du Lac County Workers
“When the MPTC Culinary Club decided to do a community service project, I suggested we do something for the social workers of Fond Du Lac County. Their jobs involve long hours advocating for families and individuals, many times in stressful situations. Their ongoing service to the community goes largely unacknowledged. By providing a fresh, delicious lunch for everyone at the social services offices, we were able to use our passion for cooking to let them know that their work is appreciated.”
– LuAnne Salmon, Culinary student and Culinary Club member
