Program organizers reached out to chef Matt Crate, culinary arts instructor at the Somerset Career & Tech Center, to ask if he had any ideas on where to get bread for our backpacks.

Without hesitation, Crate offered to bake 200 loaves of bread weekly. His friends and owners of GRUB, Desiree Sirois and Jay Coelho, jumped on board to pay for all the ingredients. Then, chef Heidi Parent (Season 16 “Hell’s Kitchen”) and chef instructor at Capital Area Tech Center, joined in to help bake.
