ANNAPOLIS RESTAURANT WEEK | Downtown Annapolis Partnership
Description: A local Annapolis restaurant and catering social enterprise. Part of The Light House Homeless Prevention Support Center, providing job training and opportunities for neighbors in need.
The Light House Bistro gives people with employment barriers the opportunity to learn while developing a resume and earning a living wage. We are a social enterprise created by The Light House Homeless Prevention Support Center to further train culinary students that have graduated from our workforce development and other partnering programs. Light House Bistro serves our community by creating a warm, fun atmosphere where people can gather to eat, drink and give back to the community.
Social enterprises create revenue from selling goods and services in the open market. All profits are reinvested back into the mission of the organization benefiting people in need and the communities in which they live. The bottom line for The Light House Social Enterprise is employment for people experiencing homelessness.
The Light House Homeless Prevention Support Center's Board of Directors envisioned that 202 West Street, the site of the original Light House Shelter, could create jobs for Light House graduates by repurposing the building into an advanced Culinary Training Center, Bistro, Coffee Bar and home for Bistro Catering. Four much needed permanent supportive apartments for Light House residents were added on the second floor.
