The funds will be used to renovate the building's existing kitchen so that it can be certified as a commercial food preparation facility and to reconfigure second floor classroom space to become a computer learning center.

The new kitchen will make possible an internship program for culinary arts students in collaboration with Windward Community College and also allow the KEY Project to provide improved food preparation and educational services for community members, the news release said. The computer learning center will support the KEY Project's computer literacy and job training programs for youth and adults alike.
