A Taste of Spring

Enjoy an evening of culinary delights on April 9 as Employment Horizons hosts its annual A Taste of Spring event at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany.  This lively celebration of spring features small plates and tastings from nearly twenty local restaurants and breweries including Rod’s Steak & Seafood Grille, Central Taqueria, Hibiscus Island Grille, Double Tap Brewing, and Enjou Chocolat. Tickets must be purchased in advance; early reservation is recommended, as seating is limited.

The event will feature an open bar and passed hors d’oeuvres, as well as a silent auction and 50/50 raffle. Proceeds benefit the Culinary Arts Training Program at Employment Horizons, the premier not-for-profit agency providing comprehensive job training and placement services to people with disabilities and other barriers to employment in the greater Morris County area. The Culinary Arts Training Program was founded in 2011 and the organization’s on-site cafeteria, Café Horizons, provides a unique opportunity to get hands-on experience, while its new comprehensive 10-week program teaches culinary fundamentals such as food safety and customer service skills with daily lessons in preparing a variety of cuisines so that participants gain the skill and confidence to obtain community-based employment in food service roles.
