All core programs of GAP Ministries are now fully functioning on the new Campus of Hope – the Family Engagement Center, Career Plus, the Community Warehouse, and, as of November 2024, the GAP Kitchen. With the help of over 254 individuals and organizations, we were able to raise over $400,000 in less than one year to complete the new and improved Kitchen!
The GAP Kitchen currently serves over 100,000 meals annually to children, seniors, and others in need, but is projected to double or even triple that number now that the new kitchen is completed. The Career Plus program at GAP operates CulinaryTraining in the Kitchen, with the expertise of Tucson Iron Chef John Hohn and his team going to dozens of future chefs seeking a better opportunity. Over 100 men and women have graduated from this program and gotten jobs at top restaurants in Tucson. Additionally, our new kitchen is now able to support food truck entrepreneurs as a “Community Kitchen”.
Thank you to all of the $200 Square Foot Sponsors who made the GAP Kitchen possible in 2024!
