Krackers Katering is a catering service and social enterprise that fosters community and economic development through food. The team offers services -- from breakfasts to lunches -- for businesses and private clients. "Created to achieve both social and economic objectives, Krackers is staffed by individuals who have experienced barriers to employment, including people with disabilities and those who are economically disadvantaged," the organization writes on its About Us page.
Back in November of 2011, Social Business featured Good Nature Groundskeeping, a social enterprise that offers grass maintenance and junk removal services. Good Nature, along with Cycle Salvation (which we've also profiled on the site), works under the same umbrella as Krackers Catering, that is, Causeway Work Center based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
