Café project under way

More than 100 volunteers from The Home Depot joined volunteers from Triangle Impact on Sept. 28 during the second annual Corporate Month of Service. They swarmed the small Café on the Hill on the campus of Dorothea Dix Hospital to begin the revitalization of the small wooden building and grounds at 2105 Umstead Drive. Above, with his arm outstretched, Jeff Ware, executive director of Triangle Impact, praised an assembly of the volunteers at the end of the first phase of sprucing up the cottage. The café will become a training facility for Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s Culinary Job Training Program to benefit people who are in recovery, who are homeless and who have mental illness, through long-term apprenticeship opportunities.
