Join the Foundation for a Healthy St. Pete, in partnership with the Tampa Bay Collard Green Festival, for a special screening of the award-winning documentary "Coldwater Kitchen" on Tuesday, September 15, followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the power of food, second chances, and community.

"Coldwater Kitchen" tells the inspiring story of an extraordinary culinary training program inside a Michigan prison, where incarcerated individuals develop professional cooking skills while discovering purpose, dignity, and hope. The film highlights how food can become a catalyst for transformation, healing, and opportunity.

Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with cast members Chef Dink, Chef Hill, and co-producer Desire Vincent, who will share insights on the film's creation, t and the importance of creating pathways to opportunity through education.

Whether you're passionate about food, storytelling, criminal justice reform, or community wellness, this evening offers a unique opportunity to experience a powerful documentary and participate in a meaningful dialogue about resilience, redemption, and the ways food can bring people together.
