The Salvation Army has established its first culinary academy in the city, offering an intensive ten-week program to recovering addicts.
The program, called The Way Out, is run by chef Timothy Tucker and director Aaron Lowers, both of whom are recovering addicts themselves.
Christian Beltran-Perez, 34, is one of the graduates of the program. He has struggled with a meth and alcohol addiction which, he says, spiraled out of control. He has found solace in the kitchen, honing his culinary skills and moving past his troubled past. Beltran-Perez is eight months sober and is grateful for the new opportunity, saying,"Once I complete this program, I'm able to go ahead and take the training wheels off, get a job myself and will then drive myself."
