Chef Stacy Maple’s journey from running a pay-it-forward diner in Port Clinton to teaching culinary skills in Ohio prisons is making a real difference. Through the Chopping for Change program, she’s helping inmates earn state-accredited culinary certificates, giving them a shot at meaningful work after release. Maple’s compassion and experience working with people in recovery have shaped her approach, and she’s seen firsthand how these programs break down stereotypes and open doors. It’s not just about cooking—it’s about giving people a second chance and strengthening the local workforce.
