This year Soulfull Cafe and Main Street Connect, the inclusive community and café in downtown Rockville, are offering community members three ways to give back on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 16th: Writing cards to patients at Children’s National Medical Center; making dog toys for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue, and preparing a meal for Stepping Stones Shelter. Volunteers can write cards and make dog toys from 11 – 1 in the cafe. Main Street Members will also prepare meals that afternoon in Main Street’s “Poppy Boy’s Kitchen” (the meal preparation is open to Main Street Members only). Participants can register here.
Main Street Connect is the first community-oriented, affordable, accessible housing solution to redefine the concept of inclusion through membership and programming for people of all abilities. Our community is a culture of kindness, opportunity and possibility, improving quality of life for everyone. Main Street ismoving the needle for more inclusive communities across the nation.
Soulfull Café is a café and community space in downtown Rockville at 50 Monroe Place. In partnership with Main Street Connect, Soulfull Café is committed to providing inclusive employment opportunities for people of ALL abilities in a dedicated community gathering space that values local and social connections. According to the 2020 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data report, only 17.9% of people with a disability were employed. The Soulfull Cafe hires people of all abilities through a deep-rootedcommitment to diversity, dignity and boldness. We see a world where employment opportunities are open to everyone to pursue and live their best lives.
