Why this matters in Frisco News
The partnership between Fred's Texas Cafe and Stone's Throw Farm brings attention to the need for inclusive job opportunities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As the local economy continues to grow, it is crucial that businesses prioritize hiring practices that cater to a diverse range of abilities. The workday program at Fred's Texas Cafe serves as a model for other local businesses to follow, demonstrating the value of providing jobs for adults with learning differences.
