Spot the difference…

I bet you can’t because the GetDISHed™Cafe’s new waffle dog makes everyone smile. Come down and visit us at The Portal Container Village to try our take on a classic-a hot dog cooked in a waffle iron with your choice of our many dipping sauces!

Real talk: Awareness. Inclusion. Breaking Down Barriers 🙌

Today, Kaden and our founder Suzanne were back out sharing the mission of The DISH Foundation.

Kaden spoke as a self-advocate about why employment is so important for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

His answer?

“To meet friends and make money!”

And honestly… he’s right. Employment isn’t just about a paycheck — it’s about connection, purpose, dignity, and independence.

We’re so proud of Kaden for using his voice and reminding people why this work matters. 💙 💚

He also helped make these yummy desserts we gave away!
