A Coffee Shop Employing People With Disabilities

Keri Lee is a Special Education teacher in Chesterfield, Virginia and has always had the dream of opening a coffee shop that allows her to employ people with disabilities, and teach them everyday skills that cannot be learned in a classroom.  Now, she is ready to take the leap and begin to start her own coffee shop - and she needs your help.  This company will be a non-profit corporation, with all of the funds going back into the education of the employees.  We are in the process of submitting our non-profit application, and will update our donors as the project progresses.

Keri needs your help to get this project up and running.

We have set a fundraising goal of $20,000.  This money will help us to secure the real estate needed to begin work on opening the storefront.  Keri will also use this money to buy the first sets of equipment that are needed to run the shop.  Any funds leftover will help with the further development of the coffee shop, and the hiring of our first employees.
