Cornerstones of Care is the featured beneficiary for the 14th Annual Kansas City Restaurant Week, which will run from January 13 to January 22, 2023. This 10-day dining event features over 200 Kansas City-area restaurants offering pre-fixe multi-course menus for restaurant-goers of all types. Participating restaurants pledge to donate 10 percent of sales from each meal to the featured beneficiary, as well as two founding beneficiaries, the Visit KC Foundation and the Greater KC Restaurant Association Educational Foundation.
Cornerstones of Care has selected the Build Trybe Seed to Plate program as the primary recipient of the proceeds from KC Restaurant Week. The Seed to Plate program teaches youth how to grow and cook healthy fruits and vegetables, preparing them for life outside Cornerstones of Care. In 2023, program leaders hope to expand the Seed to Plate program to include more growing space and an advanced culinary track for youth to become proficient in cooking. To learn more about Build Trybe’s Seed to Plate program and the plans for 2023, read our latest blog.
“We are honored that Cornerstones of Care’s Build Trybe culinary program has been selected as the beneficiary for 2023 Kansas City Restaurant Week,” said President and CEO Merideth Rose. “Our mission is to build safe and healthy communities, and we’re proud to benefit from Kansas City’s strong restaurant community. We are eager to educate the next generation of culinary artists through Build Trybe’s program.”
To help promote Restaurant Week, President and CEO Merideth Rose participated in several media opportunities, including the KC Cares podcast that will air this Friday and on “Give Back Friday” on radio station 90.9 The Bridge. Cornerstones of Care is also hosting a raffle drawing on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram social media platforms to encourage individuals to dine out and support Cornerstones of Care. Participants can win local restaurant gift cards and kitchen items crafted by our Build Trybe youth.
