We’re particularly excited to provide ingredients and supplies–including own-brand Pics products)–for the Connect Center’s Taco Masters S.T.E.A.M. Camp.” The week-long S.T.E.A.M. Camp leading up to Tacos for Life hosts 30 children and features hands-on culinary lessons and learning activities that support their personal growth. The camp will culminate in youth creating a final recipe, which be entered into the Tacos for Life competition. “The Taco Masters S.T.E.A.M. Camp and the Tacos for Life event are prime examples of how we at the Connect Center strive to blend education with real-world experiences,” said Ben Williams, Executive Director, at the for the Connect Center. “We believe in nurturing creativity and critical thinking in our youth, and this event allows us to do just that while bringing our community together for a common cause. We are excited to see the enthusiasm and talent of our young chefs as they compete and showcase their culinary creations. Not only does it provide a platform for our youth to shine and gain confidence in their abilities, but it also unites our community in a shared love for food and fun, all while supporting the programs that empower our young people and enrich our community.” Guests are encouraged to bring their appetite for delicious food and a desire to help give young people experiences they may not otherwise have access to without the Connect Center for Youth’s vital programming.
