Our story
New Avenue Foundation’s story began in 2013 when our 501(c)(3) public charity was formed. Our mission is to help create more meaningful lives for people with disabilities through innovative social, employment and housing programs. A couple of years ago we started to work on finding jobs for people with disabilities. Our Community Cup Coffee, a social enterprise in micro coffee roasting, is an extension of Our Community Cup Coffeehouse, a successful PAY WHAT YOU CAN social and music venue now in its 3rd year. It was started primarily for families and caregivers of people with disabilities, but we welcome everyone. Our Community Cup Coffee is helping to provide jobs for people with different abilities. Did you know that between 75 and 85% of people with disabilities are either unemployed or under-employed.
Finding competitive employment in businesses like financial organizations, software companies and large businesses is very difficult and only supplies limited job opportunities for a certain portion of people with disabilities. This is a start but what about those who have limited skills and can still be a valuable part of a community. We know our kids can make a difference if only given the chance.
