Many Women in the greater Rochester area suffer with problems of drug and alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, poverty, and childcare problems.
Unfortunately, these problems are often coupled with a lack of both education and the necessary skills to get and maintain a steady job.

At the Coffee Connection, we realize that sometimes it is not enough for these women to be thrust into a world of work, and that a harsh transition can often lead to a relapse into old habits and lifestyles. That is why our program seeks to assist these women in all aspects of their lives.
When working for the Coffee Connection, they receive counseling and support from those who have been in similar situations, while also gaining valuable job and interpersonal skills training.
Since its founding, the Coffee Connection has had an astonishing success rate in helping women and their families get back on their feet.
we have it fully insulated and heated, of course. We are doing this work step by step as funds are available - all of it in an environmentally-friendly way.
