Meet Louvell.

Louvell was part of Ybor’s first Culinary class at SCC and then continued into our Pre-Apprenticeship program to keep building his skills in a real kitchen.

After finishing his Pre-Apprenticeship Louvell was hired at . We reached out to HF Crave to ask if they would consider becoming part of Ybor’s Department of Labor Apprenticeship program so Louvell could continue his training there, and they were all in.

Louvell has worked hard for this opportunity, and HF Crave has done exactly what we hope for in an employment partner. They have trained him, supported him, and given him room to keep developing in a real restaurant environment.

Today is the day!!

All funds raised through Ybor’s campaign will help furnish our restaurant space opening this Fall.

Ybor isn’t just a restaurant. We’re a nonprofit that launches culinary careers for people navigating reentry from incarceration and this space will become the place where you can interact with our mission and enjoy great food and community.

Here’s what items in the dining room still need sponsors:

Tables: Fully sponsored!!
Chairs: 11 left
Bar stools: 9 left
Bench seating: 13 left

Thank you to everyone who has already given. We’re blown away that all the tables are fully sponsored and so many gifts of all sizes coming in. We’re so grateful to do this mission alongside you all!!

If you haven’t given yet now is your chance!!

Give to Lincoln Day, powered by Lincoln Community Foundation, is a time when Lincoln comes together to support the organizations that enrich our lives and improve our city.
