The two biggest challenges that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) experience when they age out of school are; 1) lack of training and 2) lack of employment opportunities. They struggle to find gainful work because they don't have experience or training. We are providing a solution to that challenge. Our Kitchen's corporate mission is to support individuals with IDD as they learn job skills and seek gainful employment.

That is why we are thrilled to have the DISH Foundation and Our Kitchen partnering together to create employment and job training opportunities for individuals with IDD. The Foundation provides the training and education while Our Kitchen provides the opportunity.
