About Good News Cafe and Providence Cafe and Bakery
Our core mission is to provide fair employment opportunities to individuals who are often excluded from mainstream hiring. Over 75% of our 130 employees are seniors aged 60 and above. In addition, we actively hire and support hearing-impaired individuals, stroke survivors, dialysis patients, and others who have been marginalised by society. They bring with them years of experience, knowledge, and wisdom. We believe in potential over limitation.
