STAY UP TO DATE ON COFFEE INCLUSIVE

NEPA Inclusive and Coffee Inclusive are Baking Up Something Good!

November 17, 2023

Coffee Inclusive is expanding! Bake Inclusive, a full-service bakery, is set to open its doors in March 2024! Like Coffee Inclusive, Bake Inclusive is committed to providing training and employment for people with diverse abilities in the community. Due to the overwhelming success of Coffee Inclusive, and as a way to employ even more individuals with diverse abilities and offer unique training opportunities, plans are underway to expand this concept to include a bakery named Bake Inclusive.

The focus of Bake Inclusive is to employ more individuals with disabilities and to create a transitional employment training program for high school students to prepare them for employment post-high school, with the goal of a successful employment outcome upon ‘aging out’ of high school. Construction for Bake Inclusive has already begun. We aim to raise awareness of the importance of Coffee Inclusive and Bake Inclusive and announce the fundraising goal of $150,000 in 150 days to purchase equipment and supplies to launch Bake Inclusive in March 2024.

A heartfelt thank you to Discount Tire & the Driven To Care Foundation for their support & generosity & being the first to donate to our $150,000 in 150 days! You can also show your support by donating now through noon on Wednesday, 11/29, as part of our Giving Tuesday Fundraiser event partnered with AllOne Charities. Donations can be made at http://formstack.io/6210D or by scanning the Give Day QR Code provided. We greatly appreciate any contributions made in any amount that will help make Bake Inclusive a reality for so many deserving people with diverse abilities.
