First Start Catering
Wesley’s Social Enterprises create employment opportunities for individuals facing barriers, such as newcomers, youth, and people with disabilities. Through ventures like First Start Catering, participants receive training and experience in the food services industry, gaining the skills and confidence needed to secure sustainable employment. These initiatives not only empower individuals but also provide essential services to the community, such as nutritious meals for those in our shelters and transitional housing programs.
The revenue generated from Wesley’s Social Enterprises is reinvested into our programs, helping us continue to offer vital services to those in need. By supporting these enterprises, customers directly contribute to our mission of fostering economic inclusion and social responsibility.
Wesley’s Social Enterprises exemplify how business can drive positive social change, empowering individuals and strengthening the community.
