"I represent three non-profits; an alcohol drug residential treatment center, a transitional employment organization for recovering addicts, and a local food pantry. We are exploring starting a bakery to provide job training for newly recovering addicts and provide foods for the pantry and to raise revenue for our respective organizations. Can anyone point us in a direction to research other start-ups related to this possible social enterprise?”
