Bread Line Inc

The bread line's culinary training program, stone's throw, graduated six adult students between two cohorts. Over the summer of 2024, stone's throw staff also taught fourteen teenagers incarcerated in the detention wind of the fairbanks youth facility as well as hosting a winter cookie decorating party with the youth there. Over the summer, stone's throw chefs gave culinary instruction with calypso farm's "community roots" youth job training project. We also provided on-site cooking training for calypso's new "indigenous agriculture" program. Additionally, stone's throw chefs gave regular cooking demonstrations through a local "chef at the market" program with public outreach at area farmers markets & increased their community meals production at the southside community farmers market from one day a month (2023) to weekly (2024). Our kid's cafe program enjoyed a huge turnout in 2024. This program, is seasonal opposite the garden, running from september to may. We continued our collaboration with the fairbanks children's museum & were able to bring in two dedicated volunteers to help run the program. Teaching local kids food safety & good citizenship, this program made thousands of sandwiches for the soup kitchen & prepped hundreds of pounds of produce.
