The Winnipeg kitchen is a beehive of activity. Four hundred meals are being cooked and catered by a crew of eight and one staff member. Mounds of potatoes, kilos of coleslaw and litres of gravy are being prepared. The sight would not be out of place in any high-end eatery in Winnipeg. At The Salvation Army’s Community Venture kitchen on Logan Avenue, however, the workers are all intellectually disabled. But that hasn’t stopped them from maintaining a standard of excellence. “The meals are prepared on time and on budget, not a detail out of place and the kitchen is spotless,” says Natalie Dobrowolski, the director. “This is why our services are in such demand.”
