Pierpont Culinary Gives Back to the Union Mission

Students in Pierpont Culinary Academy Quantity Foods class prepared and served a meal at Fairmont's local homeless shelter: the Union Mission. The Tuesday and Thursday FOSM 2204 Quantity Foods Lab classes put their semester's practice to work recently by preparing a meal for 75 people at the Union Mission.

Tuesday's lab prepared a BBQ theme. Residents and visitors to the shelter enjoyed BBQ ribs, pulled BBQ, coleslaw, cornbread, green beans, and honey-apple cake. Thursday's lab prepared: meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, snap peas, and double-chocolate cookies.

Pierpont Culinary ends every semester with this community service learning project. Students are given an opportunity to reflect on their experiences at the end of the class, and usually it is one of the highlights of the semester.
