“With the help of the Phoenix Project of Performing Stars, I was able to get my life, family and career back on track. I got my Driver’s License reinstated, graduated from Fresh Starts Culinary Academy, and found a great job in food service. I couldn’t have done it without them.” - Solomon Anderson, Sausalito Resident
