Jabez Café
Latin-Inspired Coffee and Homemade Food
Thursdays and Fridays 9am-2pm
Mission
Jabez Café supports immigrant families with special needs children aged 16-21. We provide an employment-training program and work experience for young adults with developmental disabilities. Jabez Café creates a safe environment for building job skills, confidence and independence. We create a sense of community and build awareness of the barriers people with disabilities face.
About Us
Jabez Café was founded in 2022 by IC Compassion staff member Pastor Dayrin Lovan and a group of immigrant parents seeking to help their young adult children live independent lives and build a greater sense of community for their families. We offer coffee, smoothies and culturally-inspired food. All menu items are donation based.
