Gather55 harnesses the power of delicious food to connect diverse communities through a restaurant with an inclusive vibe where all can gather regardless of ability to pay. Gather55 is a Hands On Hartford initiative and part of Hands On Hartford’s commitment to serve neighbors, engage volunteers and connect communities in the Hartford area.
More about Hands on Hartford.
In early 2020, Israel joined the team at Frida’s as a prep cook. Through hard work, learning from others and honoring the culture of Oaxaca (his home state in Mexico), he has worked his way up to the position on Executive Chef. Israel loves cooking and sharing the foods from where he grew up.
“Frida’s Mexican Cuisine is so happy to give back to the community by volunteering our time and sharing our special recipes with Gather55.”
