Cooking Up a New Beginning: Brittany's Story
Program Details
Brittany W. is an aspiring chef with a deep love for cooking, especially when it comes to preparing meals for her church community, family, and friends. Her passion for food goes beyond the kitchen as she finds joy in bringing people together and sharing comfort through her dishes. As someone rooted in faith and service, Brittany always dreamed of turning her culinary talent into a career.
In the midst of uncertain times, Brittany began searching for a job that could not only support her family but also offer room for personal and professional growth. When her pastor told her about The People's Plan Hiring Event at the JLM Abundant Life Center on March 20, 2025, she knew it was worth attending. With hope in her heart and her résumé in hand, Brittany showed up and left with a new job.
She was hired on the spot by Bally's Casino as a cook, a role that perfectly aligns with her passion. Now, Brittany is doing what she loves every day while earning a living and building a future. Her story is a testament to the power of faith, community, and finding opportunity in the right place at the right time.
