THE KNEAD is a local cafe that serves great baked goods and coffee while also providing a second chance for those in recovery.
More than fresh bread… but a fresh start.
The Knead is a non-profit wholesale bakery in partnership with Parengo Coffee, LLC.
The Knead is a Christ-centered vocational rehab service that offers a voluntary program for those transitioning from incarceration or addiction recovery. Clients develop job and social skills over the period of their individualized program.
Parengo Coffee, LLC provides great locally roasted coffee and handles the retail portion of our cafe. This ensures that we can focus on the daily program needs of our clients while maintaining integrity with every transaction.
It is the MISSION of THE KNEAD to be a catalyst for AUTHENTIC LIFE-CHANGE for those in our community that find it virtually impossible to secure mainstream employment and struggle with traditional support services.
Because ALL people MATTER we thoroughly assess needs and respond by ministering to the WHOLE person. We do this with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and through LOVING relationships ALL for GOD’S GLORY.
