The Junction of HOPE is the only non-profit 501C-3 restaurant
in the United States. Established in 1998 by Linda Diem, the Junction
employs 20 Special Needs adults. The Junction is located on M-57 just
twenty minutes West of I-75, or thirty minutes East of U.S. 27. You're
invited to the Junction for a delicious large portion country-style meal.

This was and remains quite a journey for everyone involved.
According to Linda Diem, "This has been a total learning experience.
The adult employees have willingly accepted the important role of
training and assistance. Sometimes we have to revamp the job technique
to meet the Special Needs person's ability. Nothing is impossible
if you look, figure, and remake the job till it works. You just accommodate
the person. Some jobs may take the combined effort of four people
to accomplish, but four have built their self esteem, and they all
receive a paycheck."
If you believe in our efforts, please consider a monetary donation
to our cause. |
