Bellden Cafe reopens doors, launches Kickstarter campaign
Only someone like Bellden Cafe’s Claire Sumadiwirya can turn equipment failures and flooding into an opportunity for growth and community-building.
After Bellden Cafe had to close its doors for weeks to revamp and rebuild their space, Sumadiwirya gathered the gang and her City Council counterparts for a Grand Re-Opening Celebration on February 20 … and with a new purpose.
In launching a Kickstarter campaign for their new Tea & Dinner Workforce Program, Bellden hopes to continue its mission of training, employing, and forging career pathways for people with disabilities, refugees, single mothers, and survivors of human trafficking.
