321 Coffee

80% of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are unemployed. We are changing this. 321 Coffee is a nonprofit coffee shop that employs adults with IDD. Our mission is to provide meaningful employment for adults with IDD and to model inclusion for other businesses to follow. Currently, 321 Coffee operates as permanent vendors at the NC State Farmers Market and employs twenty-one adults, all of whom are paid above minimum wage. Now, we are pursuing opening a storefront to grow our impact.
