Park Place Outreach Youth Emergency Shelter Partnering with Olde Pink House Offers March Cooking Class
(SAVANNAH, GA) Park Place Outreach Youth Emergency Shelter, Inc. has teamed up with Olde Pink House to offer monthly cooking classes. One of Pink House’s expert chefs will conduct the culinary course from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 14. The class will be conducted at Park Place Outreach, followed by dinner at The Olde Pink House at 6:30 p.m.
The program was the brainchild of Pink House General Manager, Craig Jeffress, after meeting with two residents of PPO who worked in restaurants. Jeffress took a tour of the shelter and was impressed by what he had observed. He decided he wanted to do more for the organization than the traditional gift certificates for auction items. This fun, instructional program of hands-on involvement was the result.
Park Place Outreach is the only facility in Savannah and Chatham County that serves youth age 11 to 17, who are going through a stressful period at home or who are victims of physical and/or mental abuse.
The cost to participate is $125 per person, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit PPO. Space is limited to eight people. To RSVP, visit http://parkplaceyes.org
