What Our Participants Learn
Baking
Most obvious for us is our treat baking. Participants learn how to measure ingredients, bake the treats, roll out the dough, measure, and bag them. Inventory Participants use the pricing guns to price inventory and stock the shelves with our products. They also keep track of inventory. Customer Service Our Participants are also trained on using the register and being up front as the face of the store. They greet customers and assist them with picking out and purchasing items. Creativity In addition to our treats, participants also assist in sewing bandanas, filling catnip toys, making pull toys, cards, blankets, and wreaths - all of which are sold at our storefront Cleaning & Maintenance Participants are also responsible for keeping the store clean and tidy. They organize inventory, vacuum and mop the floors, wash dishes, etc. |
While we are a fully functioning retail store, we rely on donations and support from our community to be able to continue this program.
