Nurture meals from around the world program

Program Overview 

The Nurture meals from around the world program, is a transitional employment program designed to serve women, especially immigrants and BIWoC (Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color), who have struggled to obtain and maintain employment. Participants work as production assistants in our cafe and food manufacturing business, receiving full/part time employment and wrap-around support for 4-6 months.

Through a combination of on-the-job training, life skills classes, career services, and case management, we help women develop stability, crucial skills, and set goals for their future. Our ultimate aim is to help women start on the path toward self-sufficiency and address the barriers they have faced in employment, empowering them to build better lives for themselves and their communities.
