And, Exciting News! To bring this vision to life, we need to raise $500,000 for the build out and first year of operations. Once built, this cafe won’t just serve coffee—it will serve as a source of hope, opportunity, and sustainability while generating revenue to fund GRM’s life-changing programs and empowering individuals on their journey from Homeless to Wholeness.

But our vision for the future doesn’t stop there. Opportunity Coffee and Cafe is the first in a series of planned social enterprises. Each initiative will provide on-the-job training in a supportive environment, giving participants the tools to overcome barriers to employment, build confidence, and connect to a greater purpose. From retail shops to food trucks, we are creating pathways to stability while reinvesting in the programs that make transformation possible.

Social enterprises are about more than teaching hard skills. They create a ripple effect of hope and opportunity and are pathways to dignity and independence. They help our guests develop the soft skills—like teamwork, time management, and customer service—essential for success in the workplace and in life.

What’s Next?
