A catering business in the city has more than just food on the menu. City Beet Kitchens is also serving up opportunities for people who used to be homeless and in jail, providing them training to work in the culinary arts industry.

All of this is part of the nonprofit Project Renewal. Its programs serve 15,000 homeless New Yorkers a year.

On Sunday morning, NY1 anchor Rocco Vertuccio spoke with Eric Rosenbaum,the president and CEO of Project Renewal, and Richard Ralph, the training and quality control manager at City Beet Kitchens, about the program.

Ralph is a veteran and a graduate of Project Renewal's Culinary Arts Training Program.
