INVESTING IN THEIR FUTURES
From the beginning, Miss Lon was here for them
For over 2 decades, Miss Lon has loved and supported the young people
who call CHC ‘home’. She recently teamed up with four of our residents
to make one of the best soul food lunches anyone at The Cov had ever
experienced! She taught them everything from how to cook greens to
her famous hot water cornbread secret recipe. During the meal, one of
our young people got emotional remembering the flavors of her favorite
foods cooked by her grandma years ago. “It feels good to be
eating food that reminds me of my relatives with my new family,”
she shared.
“When I arrived at CHC, I wasn’t
even thinking about a career path.
But, they encouraged me to go
to school and be the teacher
I always wanted to be.”
