Strategic Initiative #3
Expand Outreach & Create New Employment Opportunities
Inspired Coffee
The Inspired coffee shop and its training program has been a success on multiple fronts.
- People with disabilities are being trained for retail, hospitality and other related industries.
- They are earning income, enhancing both their lifestyle and self-esteem.
- Customers learn firsthand of the value and abilities of disabled people.
These outcomes are in addition to a business model which has seen the coffee shop operate in the black as a profitable business and a valuable addition to the Lake Geneva community. Many groups take advantage of the space for their meetings and gatherings.
Satellite Location and Mobile Unit
Estimated Expenditures: $175,000
Given the growth of the Delavan area, Inspiration Ministries is seeking to open a satellite Inspired coffee shop. Possible location includes inside the anticipated new Geneva Lakes YMCA branch in Delavan under consideration. The coffee shop would be smaller in scale but offer the same training and employment program. And the same smiles to its customers.
In addition, a mobile coffee trailer for community events would enable people with disabilities to interact with people in different settings. It would also help to publicize the work of Inspiration Ministries at those events.
Parking and Campus Signage
Estimated Expenditures: $175,000
The newly established Adult Day Services has prompted the need for additional parking spaces for both clients and staff for that program. And with increased number of staff on our campus, greater usage by the community, and improved and updated facilities, new signage is needed
to reflect new branding and direct visitors around the campus. The signage will also enhance the safety of the residents as they enjoy the many facilities and nature found on the campus.
