innovative social enterprise that employs individuals who need flexible
hours and special working conditions that most traditional jobs cannot
offer. Throughout our various ventures, we employ individuals who have
various barriers to employment: drug/alcohol addiction, mental health
challenges, physical limitations, and new immigrants to the country.”
