The Mission
Gabi’s Grounds mission is to EMPOWER the SPECIAL ABILITIES COMMUNITY to find their place in the world and ENJOY FULFILMENT in everything they do.
We promote equal access to persons with disabilities in our workplace. We create market value that includes everyone in an enriched community while providing great coffee and a unique customer service experience.
As Seen In
The Business
The Challenge / The Opportunity
- The Population With Disabilities (PWD) in the U.S. is largely underserved. About 82 % are unemployed.
A Solution to Create Value
- Open a warehouse to train employees, ship orders, create products, and provide pop-up coffee shops with an innovative community focus to employ PWD and provide community-based services- locally.
- Grow from within and existing community base, friends, and relatives that have an “affinity” to support the PWD market segment.
It’s Happening Now
- In August 2020 our warehouse has opened at The Loading Dock at 1053E East Whitaker Mill Road Suite 115, Raleigh, NC 27604
- Gabi and her friends are shipping orders, creating candles, and packing gift boxes.
- Pop-up coffee shops are continuing to happen at local events in the Raleigh, NC area.
- In 2021 we expanded the kinds of work services we provided to include packing and shipping orders for other businesses.
