Help transform lives through culinary training for formerly incarcerated folks. Every dollar makes a difference.
Your Support Feeds Hope
REfire doesn't cost students anything.
Our goal is to provide students with full scholarships to cover their uniforms, ServSafe certification, as well as the food necessary for training.
If we can help people who have formerly been incarcerated in our community stay out of the system and become productive members of our workforce, this initial investment will be invaluable.
Our annual fundraising goal is $50,000, which would cover all student tuition and the purchase of necessary food and supplies for training.
