Jessica Pearson - Kitchen Mom
Jessica Pearson runs the kitchen at Waterfront with her husband, Jesse, but she’s so much more than that for the organization. “We call her the mom because she takes care of everybody,” chuckles co-founder and Medical Director, Dr. Ruby Bayan. And that’s exactly what Pearson does with joy and caring and attention to detail. The kitchen at Waterfront is an integral part of the recovery process, focusing on good food to nurture people back to health. That was part of the original vision of co-founder John McManus, who brought the Pearsons on because he knew that’s the way they do food. “We wanted to be part of the program. He wanted this to be part of the program. It's all about John wanted the kitchen to be someplace that could be like a family atmosphere, where it was good, it was a good time there. Our clients work so hard the rest of the day, all their meetings, all their groups, all their counseling, all their one on ones, the kitchen is supposed to be just good. And I think it is now . . . not just the kitchen,” Pearson says.
Humboldt has many organization working to provide resources and services that make our community stronger.
