I founded Coffee and Kindness after watching my brother, Steven, change nearly every life he came in contact with. Steven has Down Syndrome and on top of being the inspiration for this nonprofit, a dedicated employee and an active member of his community, he is best known for the kindness he spreads. Are you in love yet?
Coffee and Kindness plans to break the stigma around people with developmental disabilities through meaningful employment and community involvement. With over 82% of people with disabilities unemployed or underemployed, it's time we value people with differences and their gifts and talents we are missing out on!
In addition to internships and employment opportunities on our coffee truck (planning to open summer 2023), we plan to offer job exploration and coaching, and job carving in local businesses. We believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and included, and we pursue that through our community outreach programs. Most importantly, we exist to support individuals with developmental disabilities as they pursue their most meaningful life!
Together we can create a more inclusive and accessible workforce while helping spread the one thing the world needs most right now, KINDNESS...and coffee.
