Newsletter: Fall 2005: The Enterprising Kitchen
Have you ever wanted to offer comfort to a survivor of sexual violence, but been unsure of the right way? With "Spas for Survivors", we have made it possible to give a gift directly to a survivor. With your gift, the Alliance will work with a rape crisis counselor to ensure that a gift spa basket is given to somebody who needs it most. Learn more, see the basket, and get with the program. About The Enterprising KitchenThe Enterprising Kitchen, a social enterprise, enables women to maximize their individual potential. Under the CHOICES and The Enterprising Kitchen brands, we operate a light manufacturing company which produces specialty soap products and enables women from across Chicago to participate in an intensive, but individually oriented workforce development program which includes: paid employment, work and life skills training and a variety of other support services. While many participants in our program have challenging personal histories, often including substance abuse and homelessness, they are highly motivated and committed to building independent and sustainable livelihoods.Each week, the women are employed twenty-five hours per week in all aspects of the soap making business from customer service, sales, inventory management, soap processing from raw materials to filling orders and shipping finished goods. The revenues generated through product sales help sustain our workforce development program and enable participants to benefit from a wide range of onsite resources and activities.

Voices and Faces:
Charles "Gabe" Wright III 
"I am a man - and I am a rape victim. People think my story is unusual. But I am speaking out so that others can see that this happens to men, too, a lot more often than they think."
