Holly-Davenport

Holly Davenport, a Glenville High graduate, has had a zeal for serving people regardless of age, race or gender throughout her life. Operating a small catering business, Heavenly Delicious, Holly demonstrates her love for others by serving her heart and soul, scratch kitchen cuisine.  After dedicating 26 years to the Cosmetology industry, she founded “COOK IT UP!” a project to introduce youth to the art of cooking.  The project goal is for school-aged children, senior citizens, the culinary community, urban gardeners, and families to cook and break bread together and also develop trans-generational relationships. Holly is very active in her church in Collinwood. She currently volunteers with the Lake Erie Sharks, a Cleveland Muny football team, and she is a homeowner in the community she plans to positively impact.
