A New Lunch Counter Will Serve as Job Training for People at Risk of Homelessness - Eater Portland
"The new restaurant and catering company coming to NW Broadway will be far more than a spot for lunch. Starting this spring, Portlanders at risk of homelessness can get paid to learn food service skills through Stone Soup, a four-month training program centered around a lunch counter and event hall. Modeled after the FareStart program in Seattle, Stone Soup accepts referrals from organizations like JOIN and Street Roots, helping participants find career specializations like bartending, back-of-house, and front-of-house service." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
