"Just to watch a client who has never handled food to walk in the kitchen, learn a skill and then even just dream about the possibility of having a job it's just amazing. Their entire demeanor changes. And this is not just for clients with unique abilities. It's really for anybody in Palm Beach County who is looking to make a career change or develop a career for the first time," said Raymond.
