Why give?

The answer is simple … We want the support and encouragement from the community to better the lives of these adults with different abilities.  We are in the process of opening this café as a 501 C3 non-profit organization* to provide stable employment for this growing population.

This unique business plan can meet the needs of every individual with a disability.  Whether they work for 10 minutes, 3 hours, or 20 hours a week … we will provide training and support to ensure that they have fulfilling lives and can answer that inevitable question of  “Where do you work?” with beaming pride.
