Work-A-Latte to Open Early 2026
Our biggest project yet the launch of Work-A-Latte, an inclusive coffee shop and community gathering place in Downtown Chester that will employ and empower adults with special needs.
Thanks to a generous building donation in 2018 and a new partnership with Kuester Commercial Properties of Fort Mill, SC, renovations are well underway. In early 2026, a 1,600-square-foot space at 140 Gadsden Street will be transformed into our dream café.
Now, we are asking for the community’s support to bring the interior to life with equipment, furnishings, and help with start-up costs—covering salaries for job coaches, a manager, and our special needs team members.
Work-A-Latte isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a place of inclusion, opportunity, and growth.
