Empowering People Through 🍕 Inspiration alert at MOD Pizza in #Chicago. During a recent visit to MOD Pizza , I saw a dedicated member of Aspire Chicago mentoring an employee with disabilities, providing them invaluable work experience and support. I hadn't realized that MOD employs 300+ individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). "It’s an important initiative for us because 81% of adults with IDD do not have a paid job in the community." Aspire Chicago is an incredible organization committed to creating inclusive communities by empowering individuals with disabilities through education, employment, and support services. Seeing their mission in action, and in partnership with MOD Pizza, was a heartwarming reminder of the positive impact that businesses and organizations can have on people's lives. At Packed with Purpose we are passionate about celebrating initiatives like these use business as a force for good. Kudos to MOD Pizza and Aspire for creating opportunities for all individuals to feel the satisfaction of being part of a professional team, and feel pride in partnering with others to deliver excellent products and services to their customers. Proud to call Aspire's workforce development sister agency, Aspire CoffeeWorks, one of our Impact Partners, where we source their award winning coffee in our gifts!
