MORE ABOUT OUR IMPACT

Entrepreneurs Are Flourishing

  • Once we got access to that kitchen, that opened the door to be able to push Gumbo Social forward, over $35,000 in sales came directly from referrals or opportunities came directly from En2Action. For some people, that’s not a lot, but for us, it’s a game changer. That’s two months of payroll; that gives us an opportunity to build for the future.
