Bexley restaurant space converted into nonprofit that teaches life skills in a kitchen setting

A nonprofit that aims to use commercial kitchen experience to aid in youth development opened earlier this week in Bexley. 

On Aug. 2, Kitchen of Life celebrated a ribbon cutting at 2525 E. Main St. LifeTown Columbus, a nonprofit assisting students with disabilities in developing vital skills for adult independence, created the organization. Kitchen of Life aims to use cooking as a vehicle to help empower teenagers with resiliency skills to overcome adversity and take agency in their lives.
