NC restaurant offers employment for women coming out of a crisis
RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) — Carroll’s Kitchen in downtown Raleigh is offering employment exclusively for women seeking a second chance to get back on their feet.
“We now offer employment and a second chance to women coming out of incarceration, homelessness, domestic violence, unplanned pregnancies, things like that,” said Lindsey Blankenhorn, Executive Director of Carroll’s Kitchen.
Shelley, a part-time worker at Carroll’s Kitchen did not want to speak about why she was in need but is optimistic about her future. “I’m finishing up my Associates in Science. I have a few classes left, and plan to transfer to a four-year college,” she said.
Another woman said it was her best job and that Carroll’s Kitchen is really helping her out.
Blankenhorn said that Carroll’s Kitchen does a 30- to 45-day trial period for each of the women, and if they do well, they’re expected to work for Carroll’s Kitchen for one to two years.
