The Story behind Sunshine Catering Cares

Haiyan is the heart and visionary behind Sunshine Catering Cares. For years, she dreamed of opening a catering company, not for personal recognition, but to honor and glorify God. Today, that dream has become a ministry where food is used to nourish both bodies and souls.
With humility and excellence, Haiyan oversees the kitchens at both Hope Cottage and Sunshine Rescue Mission. She teaches cooking and nutrition classes, equipping the men and women in our programs with practical life skills while also discipling them in their walk with Christ. She believes that learning to prepare healthy meals is about more than cooking—it's about stewardship, dignity, and caring for the body God has given us.
After completing her Food Management course, participants have the opportunity to earn their Food Handler Card, giving them a stronger foundation for employment in the food service industry and opening doors to meaningful work.
But Sunshine Catering Cares is about far more than helping someone find a job. It's about restoring confidence, discovering God-given purpose, and experiencing the transforming love of Jesus Christ. Through every meal prepared, every class taught, and every life invested in, Haiyan is helping people believe that they have value, they have purpose, and they have hope.
