Julian Rosado 1:01
Um, I'm doing pretty good. Me gotta tell you a little story. Come on, tell me a story. Okay, all right, so I went to a friend's house, and he was like, Okay, we're doing pretty good. Then he said, order a bunch of pizza, right? So, you know, that's really good to order a bunch of pizza, right? Then he had pineapple in this pizza, you never had pineapple on pizza? No, that is an acquired taste. Okay, it's an acquired Okay, so he had four pizzas, all of them had pineapple. So, you

Leaha Crawford 1:33
know, pineapple hungry. So, you know, I've been eating pineapples on pizzas for about 30 years, really. Yeah, pineapple, pineapple, chicken and onions or something. That's my mixture and vegetables.

Julian Rosado 1:47
But pineapple,

Leaha Crawford 1:49
pineapple, yeah, pizza. Man, you didn't know. Okay, you got a lot more, a lot more to learn. A lot more to learn. Well, today, guys, I have very special guest in the studio with us. We're going to talk about an organization that has been around for over 100 years in Southern Nevada, for over about 60 the Salvation Army for 160 years. I'm corrected 100 to see I know, I knew it was over 100 in 79 years in Las Vegas. So they've been around for a very, very long time, the Salvation Army. I am an advisory board member. It's something that when you see it, you hear about it, but when you actually see it and get into it. I remember the first event I did as a board member, and I got in my car and I cried because I watched the impact that this organization has on this community, and they do it with a smile and love and honestly, guys, it's really army. It's truly an army. So I would like to introduce our guest. We have major Harold in the studio with you with us this morning. Good morning. Good morning. We have Jeremy Wood, who I've known Jeremy me, and Jeremy I've been volunteering with Jeremy for some years. Good morning. Jeremy. Morning. Leah, good morning. How are you? And then we have David on this side, good morning, good morning. And then a person I work closely with that made this happen for me today. Michelle, hi. Michelle, how are you? Hi, how are you? I'm good. So first I want to talk about TSA. That's what we call it, TSA in Southern Nevada. So major. Can you tell us what impact has TSA had on this community over the past 79 years? Yeah,

Jeremy Wood 3:31
so the Salvation Army. We use a lot of military jargon, stuff like that, right? So, so within the organization, we say we invaded Las Vegas 79 years ago, but since then, and the Salvation Army in many, many cities and countries around the world, we provide treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. We provide emergency shelters for the homeless. Here in Las Vegas, we have expanded those programs over the decades, and so we have a lot of veterans programs. We have a anti human trafficking shelter here in town. We have a an LGBTQ safety dorm here in town at the emergency shelter. We have vocational training. We do housing assistance, oh my after school programs for children, senior housing for low income seniors. We do all of those things, emergency disaster services for earthquakes and fires and floods. We do all of those things and more,

Leaha Crawford 4:34
all of those things and more. And what I can tell you is they really do it. They really do the work, and I'm not. I know you guys hear me every week. This is an organization that I am passionate about, because when you some people talk about it, but when you see this, when you're there and you can volunteer and see the impact, see what's going on, it touches you differently. But they have a very special. Event going on that's coming up this month. Actually, it is the red shield kitchen showdown. So I love it. This is our second or third year doing this. It's second. It's the second year doing this. And where's Michelle. Let's talk about the red shield. Why the red shield kitchen showdown? Why that event? Well,

Michelle Senser 5:21
we have our two executive chefs here, Chef Jeremy and Chef David, so they'll be able to tell a little bit about where, where they cook at. You know, our two facilities, but this red shield showdown kitchen showdown is bringing them together, both of them for a friendly little cook off that you know, our donors and guests. Can, you know, see what they do on a daily basis and what they cook? I mean, they cook great meals. They'll go into that little bit, but basically, it's a fundraiser. We also have a judging panel. So the judging panel consists of local judges, local chefs and restaurant entrepreneurs. So we have Chef Marty Lopez from the palms. He's from Scotch, 80 prime. And then we have Anna Gomes, who owns, via Brazil, things like that. And then we have Chef Winston, Brian Howard. I mean, these are local entrepreneurs, restaurant owners that have come and worked, is going to be a judging panel. And so just bringing a little bit different element to, you know, the event. And we have actually a UNLV little string quartet that's gonna play, and, you know, it's gonna be a really fun evening. So, really fun.

Leaha Crawford 6:32
Yeah, okay, so why this event? Though? What? What? What sparked this event? A year ago,

Michelle Senser 6:36
this event came about to highlight our two kitchens and how they give back to the community. So, and I'm gonna let Chef Jeremy and Chef David talk on that, because I'm let them talk on it, okay, yeah, because they can say what they do and how they shine every day and help the community on a daily basis. I appreciate that.

Leaha Crawford 6:57
So, so we had the chefs here. These chefs are actually going to be doing the cooking at the showdown. I'm curious. So who cooks the best? David

Dave Zrebiec 7:08
Jeremy, I don't think there is a best. I think we do our best. You do. I love that you know every day, and we have pride in what we do. And I think it shows, it shows, shows in our food.

Leaha Crawford 7:19
Now, were you guys both inspirational in creating this event?

Jeremy Wood 7:25
I believe so I believe that what we do really helps showcase what we do for the community as a whole. You know, when people are homeless, and oftentimes they're looking for help, the dining room or some place with food, is where they're going to end up first, and a lot of times, we're going to be the first in the experience. And we work extra hard, us to having been through our respective programs. We don't ever lose sight of the fact of the importance of what we do for those in the community, and to see those out there, people suffering food insecurity every day, it's really heartbreaking and makes us proud to be able to help those people.

Leaha Crawford 7:56
Can you both share your stories? Because, Jeremy, I know a little bit about your story.

Jeremy Wood 7:59
Well. Me, personally, I experienced some homelessness myself. 2008 was a pretty rough year for everybody, and I found myself homeless after the recession, not knowing what I was going to do. My only experience with homelessness was on TV, and I thought I'd end up warming my hands over a fire barrel on the street. And I found my way to the Salvation Army, fortunately, and was able to get back on my feet. With the help of the Salvation Army, I was put through a culinary training program. I had never done culinary training. Culinary training before, and coming out of culinary training, I took an entry level position there, just as a cook, just to just to get my feet wet and see how it would go and and it's just grown from there. And seeing people, even today that I still saw back then, really is helps me ground myself and really love what I do. Thank

Leaha Crawford 8:38
you, Jeremy. I remember hearing your story. I think you you're one of the first stories I heard as a board member. And I remember just like, wow, you know, thank you. Thank

Jeremy Wood 8:47
you. For 13 years, right? It's been a wonderful, it's been a wonderful, right? Wonderful

Leaha Crawford 8:51
13 years. And David, you want to share your story?

Dave Zrebiec 8:55
Yeah, sure. I came to the Salvation Army about, no, almost six years ago, I had made a mess of my life, battling alcohol, and they pretty much saved my life. And I was always in the restaurant business. Prior to that, I've been cooking well. I was the first one home from school, so I we had to go cooking for a long time. So yeah, by the grace of God, it was just, it was a timing thing. The chef that was in the position was ready to leave. And, you know, my major, major, James Boyd, took a chance, you know, on a beneficiary, which is unheard of, in a position like that. And I knew what I could do, but I needed to show them. And, yeah, I, you know, the thing that keeps me going is, you know, seeing them guys every morning, okay, because that's the reminder. You know, you never forget, like January said, You never forget, and you never want to go back that up to that. And. And, you know, I really enjoy what I do. And people are like, oh, you know, it's not about the money. It's not, you know, obviously, if it was, I wouldn't be it with the Salvation Army, you know. But it's, it's the look on the faces and the empty plates, and the guy is getting back in line for seconds, and, you know, it's just taking care of them, you know, if for anything, you know, whatever, whatever's going on in their day. That that half an hour everybody's smiling, you know, that half an hour or 45 minutes when they're all in that room, you know, it's a family and everybody's enjoying meal and, you know, it's the bright spot of a lot of their days. You know, I can't tell you how many times I get asked throughout the day, what's for lunch, what's for dinner? You know, it's anticipation, you know, and we take a lot of pride. You know, the gentlemen I have working with me in the kitchen are beneficiaries. You know, I take them in, I try to keep them as long as I can, you know, unfortunately, some leave them on their own will, but we try to, you know, we do the best. There's not a lot of time obviously, you know, there's, there's so much to teach and there's so much to show, but which is kind of a really super condensed version. But the good news is, you know, at the end of the program, if they show promise, we have alternatives. You know, I have a lot of guys that I signed up to Napa. We have a culinary college up there that they get to go and, you know, the key thing is we want to, just want to give them a shot at a decent life. That's what we want to do. But they have to want it to you. Got to meet me halfway. Got to meet me. That's what I tell them. You know, if you don't meet me halfway, I'm not going to help you out. You know what? I mean, not going to be able to because, you know, it's a two way. You

Jeremy Wood 11:42
have to really want the help. You have to we'll provide as much help as we can. But one thing that I learned from my own personal journey was that they'll give you the tools, but you have to want to use those tools. It's not a it's not a handout. It's it's work, getting back on your feet and getting your life together. It's working. You have to want to do it, and you reap the rewards later on down the road. As hard as it is on that journey, the rewards are that much greater when you get there and you really understand and admire your journey and respect and you understand when people, especially in my program, especially when we are seeing the people that come through the dining room Every day, and oftentimes something, something will occur, and they'll, they'll, they'll say, Hey, you don't know what it's like to be out here. And I get a chance to sit down with that guest, and I kind of Chuck a little bit, and I get a chance to laugh. And I'll say, and everybody around who does know me and say, Oh, here we go. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Get a chance to sit down with the guests. And I always leave that conversation with a warm heart, because I've gotten a chance to open up to somebody, and they open up to me. And any chance that I get to give them information about people will see me and say, they'll see me with, you know, continued success, and they'll say, How did you do it? And that is a great opportunity for me to talk about the other programs, the vocational training program I can find out if somebody is a veteran. We have so many great resources for veterans. Anything I can do to get a person out my door and over into the doors of somebody else that can help them, if I can change one life, that that's really why we do what we do. We're here to transform lives. I

Leaha Crawford 13:07
was, I was just about to say that. I was, like, because there are so many services that are being offered, we can be I mean, basically, almost any, any problem you have, if you're willing to do the work, we're willing to help you get there, it's there. I mean, if you have the vision, we can, we can help you get there. We always

Jeremy Wood 13:24
used to say that the Salvation Army was, you know, when you're out there, when you're homeless and you're out there, you're like, you're in the ocean, and you're paddling around and you're treading water and struggling for life, and here comes a Salvation Army, and we're basically a raft. We're going to get you up on our raft, and we're going to tow you as good as we can over, you know, over to the dock, and we're going to hopefully get you off in that dock and off into life and move on. But that's what we're here to do. But you have to help me swim. You have you have to help paddle this boat.

Leaha Crawford 13:47
You got to help paddle. No, you got to help paddle the boat.

Dave Zrebiec 13:49
You got to help paddle. You got to pull it. I mean, you have to pull your weight. But if they work the program, miracles do happen. You know, I'm not the most religious person myself. I have become more religious because I have seen things that are unexplained, and, you know, the so called coincidences, and they just keep adding up. And it's like, wait, you know, something, there's something more to it. And, you know, you see some of these guys that come in the door, and they're just train wrecks, you know, and then to see them six months later, it's like, I just Just unbelievable, and they have a chance and a shot at a good life. And, you know, they found God. You know, the spiritual part is a big part. Is a big part for me, because they need that. They need growth. You know, it may not be your God. May not be your dear, the person's God, but something to believe in, something to reach for, to keep reaching, and something to drive them. I appreciate

Leaha Crawford 14:51
that. So I want to get contact information for the Salvation Army is 70287044 Eight zero, again, 702-870-4480.

I am going to have major go over the programs one more time so that he can just talk about all of the services that are offered at the Salvation Army. And what I can tell you is, when you walk in the doors, if you're serious and you're ready, they're here to assist you. So let's go over those programs again, one more time. Major,

Jeremy Wood 15:30
sure. So just outline what the some of our friends here were saying. So Chef Jeremy at the at the homeless campus on Owens produces more than 1000 meals a day, every single day,

Leaha Crawford 15:44
every day. Stop, stop, stop, stop, right there. Okay, Jeremy, a day, every Jeremy, you every day, every day. So, so if I'm hungry, can I come back? Get some 100% Oh, my door is always open, so I need to get your phone number in the meantime, because sometimes when you know my office is downtown. Actually, I

Jeremy Wood 16:01
haven't really seen you in to volunteer much as of late, not as of as of late. Wouldn't hurt, maybe to come see you, get on the front line with us and

Leaha Crawford 16:07
help you good, but you know I will. But you know, because you know I have, and you know I will, and I will. I'm gonna, I am, I'm gonna come, but I but I am. I'm coming. I'm coming. So 1000 meals a day. What does it take to do that? So

Jeremy Wood 16:20
it takes a small, sorry, 100,000 meals a day. No, no, no. 1000 No. We do about 1000 meals a day. We average around 300,000 meals annually in my kitchen, because

Leaha Crawford 16:29
I heard, I don't know why I saw it tax season. So excuse me,

Jeremy Wood 16:35
Superman Cape under my shirt to pull off 100,000 Okay, got it,

Leaha Crawford 16:38
but 1000 meals a day, and I'm Dave, how much are you averaging a day?

Dave Zrebiec 16:42
About 323, 40.

Leaha Crawford 16:44
But that's still a lot, because that's breakfast, lunch and dinner. So can I see the menu so I know which day I'm coming? 100%

Jeremy Wood 16:51
send you an email you've already had a chance to sample my food every month at the Advisory Board meeting.

Leaha Crawford 16:55
I know. I know. I know. We'll see. I do get your food. So I do get your food so, but I need to know what day I'm coming so I can play in my okay. So before I go home, I'm gonna go over here get something to eat. Volunteer, a little bit. Eat a little bit.

Jeremy Wood 17:07
Okay, go ahead. 100% okay. You know, in order to make that happen, it really takes a small but very dedicated team of people that help lead volunteers, workers that have been assigned by the court for community service. That has its own challenges in itself. You know, you have volunteers that are essentially you're dealing with trainees every single day. Trainees every single day. But my staff just handles it with a plum. Every day they come in, they're happy to do what they do. A lot of them have come through the same program that I did. I really proudly hire out of the same program that I came from, that shows a lot of faith in our program. It's, they're, they're amazing programs. Those are people that are, have shown that they're willing to do the work. And when they come in, they really do, show the work. You know? They really do hit the ground running, and they're an amazing team. I couldn't do that without my team.

Leaha Crawford 17:44
All right. So you with the 320s so Dave, with the 320 How do you make it happen every

Dave Zrebiec 17:49
day? By the grace of God, I make it through

Leaha Crawford 17:52
the seven days, right? Seven days a week? Right?

Julian Rosado 17:54
Seven days? Yeah,

Dave Zrebiec 17:56
every day. It's me and the beneficiaries. Okay, I don't have a sous chef or a backup or anything, so that's, that's my crew, and I get a lot of guys that I might have get lucky, or have one or two that might have little experience at an Arby's or something, but a lot of the guys that come in don't know the difference between a knife and a fork. So we're starting from ground zero, but we get them on the fast track. You know, I work with them, and, you know, I don't, I'm there pretty much, 24/7 if they ever need me, my door is always open, you know? And we just, we want to put out the best food we possibly can that's available to us,

Leaha Crawford 18:34
and it's good food. How much? Because the advisory board meetings, that's good food, because I know I eat what? Yeah, I look forward to advisory for me

Jeremy Wood 18:42
so little funny story, when I was homeless, I had to wait in the same line that I now served for. It was a couple of years, and there was days that the food was without, just not to eat because the food was so bad. And one of the things I pledged when I came to work at the Salvation Army, I moved my way up and got into a leadership position where that would never subject anyone to the same things that we used to eat and we never do. We cook as much stuff as we can from scratch. We use fresh ingredients fresh salads every single day. We have a salad bar and soup at our lunch meal. In order to do 1000 meals, we spread that out over four meals every single day. And you know, with the help of all of the volunteers that we have people that are listening, one of the ways that they can assist is they can find information on our website to come out and volunteer, if they if they'd like, all right,

Leaha Crawford 19:26
and the volunteer Salvation Army Southern nevada.org just like it sounds, it is

Jeremy Wood 19:31
an opportunity to get out and first hand, witness what we do and see what we do in the community.

Leaha Crawford 19:36
Salvation Army, Southern nevada.org I'm sorry, Major, we cut you off about the program. I got stuck on the food because I I'm a foodie.

Jeremy Wood 19:44
I'm a foodie. Go ahead. So, so, as both the chefs noted, so just I wanted outline what Chef David does. So Chef David cooks for the we call the A, R, C, the adult rehabilitation center, and it provides drug and alcohol treatment for, uh. Men and for women, which isn't always common so but this center here in Las Vegas provides the recovery, a six month in house program for men and women and and again, I've seen so many lives changed. It is they graduate people just about every week, and it's it. Again, he mentioned about once you start seeing miracles in people's lives that can't be explained any other way, your your your belief and things like that, tends to change a little bit because, because I've seen lives that that were literally destined to to an early death and things like that, and and all of a sudden, you know, all of a sudden they're they're back, their family is willing to speak with them again, and their children are in their custody again, and and all those things like that. And even those people thought that all the all that was lost. Well, let me

Leaha Crawford 20:52
ask you this the thrift stores, because we still have the thrift stores we do, and the thrift stores support a RC. They didn't know that. Okay, so the thrift store support a RC, so when you're purchasing things from the thrift store, you're supporting someone that's going through recovery exactly at some recovery point in their life. So that's something to think about. When you think about, you know, if you want to another way to give back, right? Another way to give back, good. That's good.

Jeremy Wood 21:16
That's good. So, so that's what the Salvation Army does in every every different community that we're located in across the country. Every single zip code in the United States has Salvation Army services. Just here in Las Vegas, again, more than 300,000 meals served, 100 and on average, 150 160,000 nights of shelter every every year. Here in town, we offer household and utility and rent assistance. More than 3000 families every year, we help with their rent so they're not evicted things like that. We help people get jobs. Our vocational training program, as Chef Jeremy mentioned, our just one part of the vocational training is the culinary arts program, right? And we just graduated our 49th Culinary Arts Academy class, right? Just all those people that are, that are, you know, working in kitchens and as chefs and helpers and things like that across the valley, different restaurants and and then again, we help people with all kinds of different training when it comes to vocational things you can, you can learn to be a truck driver, a welder or a pharmaceutical pharmaceutical tech and and all kinds of different things.

Leaha Crawford 22:24
Now go over that again. So what all can you learn? Because that's huge. So

Jeremy Wood 22:27
there's like 42 different job fields that we that we partner with different academies around the valley, but anything from truck driving and welding and pharmaceutical tech and helping out in hotels, getting your security card, your guard card, to be to, you know, to do security for companies, stuff like all those things and more. So we help out with those things at the same time, if people that are coming off the street, we provide their housing, their meals with Chef Jeremy, with all the good food and things like that. Case management assistance with finding housing, you employment, you name it, all those things.

Leaha Crawford 23:04
And I can tell you as a as a advisory board member, I was aware of some of the things I wasn't aware. Again, you learn every day 42 different things. So what I would say, if you are feeling, I mean, if you're in a place right now and or if you know someone that needs assistance. Salvation Army. Salvation Army is a place to start, to start. 702-870-4480 again, 702-870-4480 All right, you've been listening to growth and grace. I'm Leah Crawford. This is Julian risotto and Julian, you've been quiet this whole show. You haven't said anything, just amazed. You're in everything because you're and no questions,

Julian Rosado 23:46
no, I'm I'm just shocked. I just want to hear more. You just

Leaha Crawford 23:49
want to hear more, okay? Because normally, Julian has a question that comes, you know, his mind is going you are really amazed. Yes, amazing Lord, huh? All right, again. Salvation Army, Southern nevada.org, Salvation Army, Southern nevada.org and they have the red shield kitchen showdown. This is the second annual showdown. It will be on Thursday, April 24 2025 from 530, to 8:30pm, at the Emerald at Queens bridge. Again, you can find out more information about this event at Salvation Army, Southern nevada.org Salvation Army, Southern nevada.org, and spell out Southern Nevada, southern two ends and then nevada.org you want more information if you contact them, 702-870-4480 they will tell you about the fundraiser, and when you come, you will get to meet everyone that is here in the studio, because they will be there live and in person. They are approachable. They want to talk to you if you want more information about the services that the Salvation Army offers. Yes, all right. Is there anything else you want to add? Anything else you want to add? Michelle, oh, we haven't heard from Michelle. Come on, Michelle, come

Michelle Senser 25:07
on. I just wanted to add. So the participants, Chef Jeremy's participants and volunteers that work in his kitchen, Chef David his participants at ARC, you know, it's all inclusive. So this event that's coming up, we, we utilize them, we we make them part of the event. So they're going to be working as servers. They're going to be working, you know, passing out an

Leaha Crawford 25:31
advisory board members will be there, advisory board, advisory board members will be there. But

Michelle Senser 25:36
it's all inclusive, to make them seen and being heard. So it's not just lifting them up. It's lifting them up in all ways, right?

Leaha Crawford 25:43
So you get to really interact and see and talk. And how is this going to work, though, with this showdown, what does this showdown entail? Well, how is it's just

Jeremy Wood 25:50
a little friendly competition, that's all it is. It's just a chance for us to get outside of our comfort zone, a little flex our culinary muscle that we don't always get to flex every day. But in the end, it's really about benefiting our programs, because the programs because the programs are so important, it's going to be a lot of fun. Last year's was a lot of fun. This is going to be even bigger. We're just really a chance to do really some fine dining courses and just really try and impress people as much as we can. How many

Leaha Crawford 26:12
so how many courses are the meals? It's going to be three courses.

Dave Zrebiec 26:15
Three courses. Three courses. Okay, we just want to raise a lot of money. Correct?

Leaha Crawford 26:19
Okay, I got it. Got it, got it, but it's three. I love it, three courses. So I mean that that's exposure right there, right? Yeah? Exposure for some because I'm sure when you're giving the meals, serving the meals in the kitchens, it's just one, you know? It's just one course? Well, it

Dave Zrebiec 26:34
depends on the day. Oh, I don't have a rotating menu. My menu changes every week depending on what get or what I

Leaha Crawford 26:39
get. So I'm gonna give you my email address now. Where's aarC? It's on 211

Dave Zrebiec 26:43
Judson, even I

Jeremy Wood 26:44
go to lunch over at Arp. It's got great food over there for lunch.

Leaha Crawford 26:48
I'm just saying we're going over, okay, the AR C got it. But AR C is specific to just the people that are in a RC, correct, men and women that are in the program, okay? And that's actually special, because that's a real chant. I mean, when you're in recovery, that's a real gentle, vulnerable space. Oh, yeah, very vulnerable space, it

Dave Zrebiec 27:07
sure is. So we try to make them as comfortable as possible. Okay? And no better way to make

Leaha Crawford 27:13
them comfortable than with good food. Good food. Now, do you do oxtails and stuff like

Dave Zrebiec 27:16
