🎉✂️ Two social enterprises. One mission. Real opportunity.
Special Needs Network is proud to invite you to a major milestone for our workforce development initiatives as we officially cut the ribbon on the Special Flavours Community Kitchen Food Truck and Sip & Scoop Artisan Mobile Café!
Powered by neurodivergent adults, Special Flavours and Sip & Scoop are creating real pathways to employment through hands-on culinary training, workforce development, and meaningful opportunities to build skills, confidence, and independence.
From the kitchen to the community, our Flavouristas are gaining real-world experience while serving handcrafted food, artisan ice cream, specialty coffee, premium teas, fresh lemonades, and signature beverages across Los Angeles.
📅 Friday, July 24
🕙 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Jacqueline Avant Child and Family Center
Center for Autism + Developmental Disabilities
1741 E. 120th St., Los Angeles, CA 90059
Join Special Needs Network, our partners at Metro, the Crenshaw Chamber of Commerce, community leaders, employer partners, elected officials, families, and supporters for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration featuring complimentary tastings, live music, a DJ, community fellowship, and opportunities to meet the Flavouristas behind the mission.
This is what inclusive workforce development looks like in action. Real jobs. Real training. Real ownership.
Because every plate served, every cup poured, and every order placed creates opportunity. 💙🍦☕️
