Christina Wanner

FoodWorks – Baltimore County, Class 27

As a FoodWorks student, Christina was given the opportunity to not only learn and develop professional and personal skills, but also give back to the community by feeding hungry Marylanders.

“As a culinary arts instructor for FoodWorks, I was able to empower others to use their voice without using words at all-by putting everything on the plate. I would remind my students and myself each day to trust the process and focus on the long-term goal.”

Tyra Robinson

FoodWorks – Baltimore City, Class 2

Motivated by her parents, who experienced homelessness themselves, Tyra entered FoodWorks’ 12-week culinary program at UA House in Baltimore City and emerged as a confident, capable chef, helping her to succeed.

“FoodWorks helped me grow to be a leader. I used to be so shy, I wasn’t sure I could do it. It was really good, even for the most introverted person in the world. It will help build your confidence.”
