In a joint partnership with the National Shrine of St. Rita of Cascia and funded by the Borchard Foundation, A.D.R.O.P. is pleased to announce a new program: the Brewin’ Peace Coffee Cart. The purpose of this project is to support people formerly incarcerated (returning citizens) in their effort to return to society, gain sustainable employment and build for the future. The 6-12 month program provides returning citizens with valuable experience to prepare for the responsibilities of today’s job market and mentorship on how to apply for and accept a position in full time employment.

All coffee and food is offered free to the public with request for donations to help fund operations. The Brewin’ Peace Coffee Cart also serves as a community gathering place where people can learn and dialogue about the issue of mass incarceration and its impact on society. The Coffee Cart seeks to be an example to others on creative ways to make a difference in someone’s life.

The Coffee Cart operates at the National Shrine of Saint Rita of Casica, at the corner of South Broad and Ellsworth Streets, 8am-noon 3 days a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). Additional hours will be offered in conjunction with activities that occur with the Shrine.

If you are interested in applying for the position of working the cart, please find the job description here.
