Skid Row is a neighborhood in LA known for being a \u2018dumping ground\u2019 for homeless people. Today it houses the largest stable homeless population in the world.<\/p>\n
Skidrow Coffee<\/a> is a neighborhood pop-up coffee shop and job training program for people of low-income. Working in collaboration with Bar Nine<\/a> roastery, they serve impeccable caffeinated delights to the local community and greater LA.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOne of our goals is to establish a permanent location in Skid Row to serve as a safe, inclusive, and creative space for Skid Row community members to connect, dialogue, study, and of course enjoy very good coffee and nourishing food with price points that fit the demographics.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n What\u2019s even more exciting is that they aim to elevate (and caffeinate) events and projects they\u2019re stoked about. You\u2019ll find them slingin\u2019 beans at local documentary screenings, photo exhibits highlighting homeless life, or good old-fashioned streetball tournaments.<\/p>\n That\u2019s the kind of grassroots business we are sooo excited to see. More of this, please!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
