Make a Difference

Gerry's Café is changing lives by providing an extensive training experience that teaches transferable job and life skills. Though we employ more than 40 adults with disabilities, we’d like to do more. With your help, we can expand Gerry’s Café locations and open related ventures, creating more employment opportunities for adults with disabilities.
