The Correctional Training Facility at Soledad (CTF) celebrated Food Service Week Feb. 4-7.
They recognized the dedication of food service staff and incarcerated workers with special meals and appreciation events.
The week kicked off with a nacho and baked potato bar, followed by a day of donuts and cupcakes. The highlight came on day three, when Correctional Food Manager II Gregory Gash grilled smash burgers for the team.
A thank-you letter from Gash and the warden expressed appreciation for the team’s hard work.
“This week is just a small way for us to express our gratitude for the tremendous effort and dedication our food service team puts forth daily,” wrote Gash. “(Your) hard work does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated by everyone here at CTF.”
Two incarcerated workers were honored as Workers of the Month, receiving certificates. The Prison Industry Authority (PIA) also created banners displayed throughout the facility to show appreciation.
