Since 1980, the Readiness Center has focused on breaking the cycle of poverty through the education children and families in Benton Harbor. Instilling within children the curiosity, confidence, and tools necessary to succeed in school, and recognizing parents as their child's first teacher, the Readiness Center's pre-school program has become a model for early childhood education and life-long learning. The center also serves children grades K-5 through their after-school "City Kids" program. City Kids pairs elementary school students with teen mentors—simultaneously providing the younger students with homework assistance and enrichment and the teen mentors with volunteer opportunities and early job experience.
This ticket includes a $50 donation to the Readiness Center that will be collected at the time of booking. Please know we are not a restaurant open to the public. All dinners are ticketed by advance reservation only and include beverage pairings. No outside alcohol is allowed.
