At first glance, you may be tempted to think that this is describing a ride at an amusement park, but it’s not. These words are from Rebecca Sherbino describing the first few months of founding her social enterprise, The Raw Carrot. However, her experience is not so different from the ups, downs, twists and turns of a roller coaster.
The Raw Carrot began as a means to provide a sustainable solution to poverty in Canada. They hire marginalized workers with disabilities or mental health challenges to cook, package, and distribute soup. Their mission is, “employment with purpose.” They exist to alleviate poverty in local communities and to create income, community, hope, and dignity through supported work for people who would traditionally fall through the cracks of a profit driven environment.
