The nonprofit is dedicated to hiring women who have experienced chronic unemployment. It teaches them to get into working habits by making nourishing products. That includes spice and soup mixes, burrito bowls, popcorn and more.

Not only does the work allow them a sense of pride, it facilitates a sense of community they've sometimes never had.
