The Raw Carrot: Creating disability-friendly work
Social enterprise founded in Ontario church
Paris Community Church in Ontario was the starting location for a soup-making social enterprise that is now ten years old and expanding to new locations.

Staff have found community, purposeful employment and some extra income (especially needed by anyone trying to get by on the Ontario Disability Support Program).
