WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Far Southeast Family Strengthening
Collaborative (FSFSC) and Busboys and Poets will formerly announce a
partnership that will result in a restaurant and hospitality and culinary leadership
training institute in Ward 8 on Martin Luther King Ave., SE.
At
the press conference, FSFSC will announce that a full service Busboys and Poets
restaurant will occupy approximately 7,000 square feet in the
building owned and operated by the Ward
8 based nonprofit. It will also
highlight its plans to operate a full-scale hospitality and culinary arts leadership
training institute and new office space for FSFSC.
The
Far Southeast Family Strengthening Collaborative planned this venture with Ward
8 residents in mind. “Employment opportunities in these fields are flourishing
– in the nation’s capital, and FSFSC wants to ensure Ward 8 residents are
prepared and well equipped to compete for jobs in the field of culinary arts
and hospitality,” states Perry Moon, Executive Director of FSFSC. “In addition,
Busboys and Poets is bringing a needed amenity to the neighborhood.”
For
eighteen years, FSFSC has partnered with residents, agencies, and institutions
in the Southeast community to ensure a healthy and positive environment for
families. The Hospitality and Culinary Leadership Institute will be one more
step in providing resources and tools for residents of Ward 8.
