A new bakery in Cleveland is helping people with criminal records and other problems get trained and back into the workforce.
Bloom Artisan Bakery and Café will open this Wednesday and will be offering sandwiches, salads, coffee drinks, and other baked goods.
But most importantly, the bakery will be helping those with barriers to work the chance to learn and grow, as 90% of the workers have a felony record.
The idea is to help these former prisoners put together a credible work history, references, and skills to help them obtain permanent employment.
And, on top of that, the storefront and bakery are expected to raise money for other programs and services.
