HEIDELBERG HELPS ESTABLISH BEVERAGE LAB AT COLUMBUS STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

By Carol Miller

Heidelberg’s contribution to Mitchell Hall was the first donation cited by Cameron Mitchell in the dedication of Columbus State’s newest asset! This “state of the art” facility is not just a gorgeous addition to the school’s campus but as a visible opportunity to students in Columbus thinking about their future in the hospitality industry. One exciting aspect of Mitchell Hall is that it is just one block away from the city food bank. Culinary students will be creating meals for the Columbus inner city homeless and indigent. Heidelberg Distributing takes pride in supporting all of the communities we service. This is just the latest attempt to contribute to the current and future needs of our current and future customers.

VAIL AND CAROL MILLER RECENTLY ATTENDED THE OPENING OF MITCHELL HALL AT COLUMBUS STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, WHERE STUDENTS WILL USE THE HEIDELBEG DISTRIBUTING LAB WHILE STUDYING THE BEVERAGE INDUSTRY. MITCHELL HALL HOUSES THE SCHOOL OF HOSPITALITY, MANAGEMENT AND CULINARY ARTS AT THE COLLEGE.
