Our passion for assistance is personal. Our founder experienced first-hand the effort required to bring his injured son safely home from overseas, and was motivated to help others in need. Because home isn't just a place, it's a feeling of belonging and security. We're dedicated to making sure safety and comfort is always within your reach.

I didn't know that they offered scholarships in the food environment, I wouldn't have considered it. They're offering scholarships and why don't you apply for it and see how it goes.
