Meet Gerry's Cafe's GM for a Day! 👏 Congratulations to Kathryn Newhauser, the lucky winner of our GM for a Day raffle at the 6th Annual Gerry's Cafe Golf Outing! On Wednesday, Kathryn stepped into the leadership role and got to experience what it's like to run the cafe.

Her responsibilities included:
☕ Giving work direction to our General Manager, Assistant Manager, and Shift Supervisors
🥐 Taste-testing our freshly baked treats to make sure they met the boss's approval
😊 Meeting, greeting, and welcoming guests to the cafe
📦 Helping with food and product ordering
🎵 Choosing the café's playlist for the day

Of course, every great GM deserves a few perks:
🍽️ A complimentary meal
🥤 A free favorite beverage
🍪 A favorite dessert or snack
📸 Plenty of photo opportunities managing our cafe!

Thank you, Kathryn, for being such a great sport and helping make the day so much fun. We hope you enjoyed your time as Gerry's Café GM for a Day! 💙

At Gerry's Cafe, we're serving more than coffee - we're creating opportunities.

As our General Manager, John Will, says, "This is their chance." Every day, our employees come to work wanting to be treated like the capable, talented adults they are. They build confidence, develop new skills, and show our community what's possible when everyone is given the opportunity to succeed.

John believes the mission is simple but powerful: "Down syndrome is not a deficit it's a different way of thinking." By sharing stories, creating meaningful employment, and welcoming our community through our doors, we're helping change perceptions one conversation, one customer, and one cup of coffee at a time.

Thank you for supporting Gerry's Cafe. Every visit helps create a more inclusive community where everyone is valued.

What does Gerry's Cafe mean to you? We'd love to hear your story in the comments. 💙

Over the past few weeks, Gerry’s Cafe has been blessed to receive three incredibly generous donations from members of our community. 📸 Pictured here:

• Knights of Columbus – Palatine: Check received by Kiera Breault at St Thomas of Villanova annual dinner then presented to Natalie at the golf outing.

• Knights of Columbus – Arlington Heights: our employees received the check at the cafe, presented by the Head Knight and the Treasurer.

• Shane Hoyt’s Bar Mitzvah Service Project & Fundraiser: Check presented to the co-founders and employees at the cafe.

We are truly humbled by the support, kindness, and generosity shown to Gerry’s Cafe. Every donation helps us continue our mission of providing meaningful employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Thank you for believing in our employees, our mission, and the impact we can make together. ❤️
