Chef Alberto Gonzalez of Chicago’s 90 Miles Cuban Café and Café Bustelo® Coffee came together on September 22nd to promote education through food at El Paseo Community Garden’s Harvesting Health: Fall Festival. During the festival, Chef Gonzalez presented a $25,000 donation on behalf of Café Bustelo and shared an interactive cooking demo using the garden’s actual home grown produce. In addition to supporting various educational programs and resources for neighborhood residents, strengthening their environmental stewardship and civic engagement in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, the donation will also help launch El Paseo Community Garden’s first Pilsen Chef and Kids Educational Enrichment Program, as well as build a brand-new student café to host educational workshops and provide a positive learning environment to the Latino youth.
