Thanks to Women for Women, a women’s giving circle administered by the Community Foundation of WNC that provides grants to nonprofits addressing the needs of women and girls in Western North Carolina, CPC was awarded $20,000 to continue supporting job creation through worker owned businesses.

This project focuses on expanding the development of worker-owned, cooperative small businesses that will sustain 20 part-to-full time jobs and will create 8-10 new living-wage, dignified, part-to-full time jobs across Western NC for very low-income immigrant women.
