“Creating a nonprofit arm of Sterling Hospitality is something we wanted to do for years but we lacked the know-how,” John C Metz, CEO and co-founder of Sterling Hospitality, said in a statement. “The Sterling Futures Foundation is the result.”
The foundation will also expand its outreach to hospitality workers through partnerships with organizations like No Kid Hungry in Georgia and Florida and Atlanta’s Giving Kitchen, which supports hospitality staff in crisis.
Metz, inspired by his father, said he sees the foundation as a way to continue a family legacy of service and to inspire the next generation of chefs.
“We need more passionate folks in this industry and want to create a clear path and a guiding light to help them be successful,” Metz said.
