Teach Me to Fish
Mini classes based on the adage that you can feed a man a fish and he is full for the day but if you teach a man to fish he is set for a lifetime. Clients are participating in mini classes teaching cooking skills, budgeting, meal planning, relationships, job searches and much more.
