Dove Fresh Start Catering

A fresh start, a longing each of us can identify with at some point in our lives. A fresh start is what we’re hoping for the participants in the new catering project here at Dove.

Dove staff members work in all programs, to teach practical skills, helping persons move toward increased self-sufficiency. This project employs individuals receiving services from our programs that are under-employed or not presently employed. This part time job will allow them to gain marketable skills and to spend up to six months training for more permanent employment.

The vehicle is catering, where participants can establish or re-establish a positive job record. Weeding out bad habits and replacing with new job skills will help participants obtain new positions in the future.

In February 2008, in addition to feeding the residents of the domestic violence shelter, the Dove Fresh Start Catering began serving 3 meals a day, 7 days a week to residents at Heritage Behavioral Health Center. With this commitment by HBHC, the program has an excellent foundation.

Darnella Snipes, current Dove Shelter Cook, had the necessary skills to become the Head Cook for this venture. Patty Plato, Shelter Coordinator, will assist in the administration of the program. Rondy Nixon was hired, to lend his unique talents to the project.  The participants are referred from Sue Hemp, Job Developer at the Homeward Bound Program. Sue will also be able to assist participants with that next step of permanent employment while preparing other clients to be ready to step into the vacated jobs.
