Havenly Treats

58% of refugee women in the United States are unemployed, and many are underpaid or deprived or worker protections. With COVID, this situation has only gotten worse. Refugees and immigrants often do not qualify for federal and state aid, so families are struggling with food insecurity, unemployment, and sudden evictions. 

Havenly Treats is a cafe run by refugee women for refugee women. They provide paid work experience and education by offering 6-month, paid fellowships that combine work experience at our restaurant with English, digital and financial literacy, advocacy, food safety classes, and more.  At the end of the program, they continue supporting our alumni as they secure jobs, advocate for themselves and their communities, and advance their education.

They recently launched a food relief program (where the free meals for undocumented, homeless, and other families in need comes in!) and your donation will help them feed the New Haven community as well as expand their efforts!
