    Description

    - WINGS operates a Domestic Violence Safe House that offers short term shelter and services for women, men and children seeking immediate help. There is a large commercial kitchen where only certified food handlers can prepare food as stated in the food sanitization license, or work along side a food handler already certified.

    - Currently we have 1 employee who share the cooking duties. After preparation, the meal is usually refrigerated or frozen with instructions for later re-heating and serving.

    - Much of the food comes in from the Greater Chicago Food Depositary or from donations. Funds for additional ingredients are available, but limited.

    - Currently each cook creates their own recipes.
