About Scott C. Anderson

As I traveled across the states during my University Food service career, I witnessed the need to take culinary education to the community. As such, I began working with local and national organizations to fan the embers of culinary passion in young children, single moms, homeschooled, and anyone wanting a better way of life. Neighborhood corner stores stocking fresh fruits and vegetables instead of snack foods and beverages are where the education begins. I felt the need to leave the corporate setting and branch out beyond the four walls of dining to develop a sense of accomplishment and understanding to those in the surrounding communities. The kitchen is not simply a place for boiling water and adding a few ingredients, it\'s a life measure of success and ownership of supporting ones self and family in a healthier and happier way.Life is more than numbers on a page or statistics of logging data to track costs and supplies, it\'s working with people, for the people, giving them a sense of self-worth with skills to solidify their well-being. Corner stores are a potential venue to improve the food environment, and Community Garden Market is such a place. Since then, I’ve taken community to the next level and took on the role as Chief Cook & Bottle Washer at Mountaineer Recovery Center to be at the forefront of the Opioid epidemic plaguing our communities. Being a servant leader is about helping others be their best in any situation.
