A Social Enterprise:

As a Social Enterprise, we are committed to making the world a better place. While a non-profit courts donors to support programming that improves their community, and for-profits exist solely to make a profit, the community be damned, a Social Enterprise funds their own business model so they can make a real and positive impact . We provide (and charge for) services such as Full Service Catering, Event Planning, Contract Food Service, Non-Profit Program Administration, Consulting, and more, which have a real and true value to our clients. This revenue stream allows us to fulfill our mission of Self-Sufficiency Education, Job Training, Employment, Advocacy, and Food Policy.
