Comal Heritage Food Incubator

Business education with a delicious by-product.

Comal was a lunch restaurant and training program started by Focus Points Family Resource Center in 2016.  The Comal program provided skills in culinary arts and business as a platform for economic development to immigrants and refugees—who originated from countries such as Mexico, El Salvador, Syria, Iraq and Ethiopia. The program gave these participants a venue to celebrate their culinary traditions while learning about entrepreneurship and professional food services.

In February 2025, Comal closed its doors. But the impact that this program has had on the surrounding community will live on.
