Food is the tool we use to empower.
At Forge City Works, we harness the power of food to drive community and personal empowerment. Beyond nourishing the body, food feeds the soul, ignites hope for the future, and fuels our social and economic enterprises.
Our food-centric ventures offer practical training in customer service, hospitality, and culinary arts, constituting nearly half of our operational funding.
We’re committed to the belief that food fosters community, strengthens connections, and creates pathways to opportunity.
At Forge City Works, we believe in the potential of every individual to overcome obstacles with the right support. Through coaching, encouragement, skill development, and a community walking alongside them, people can unlock their full potential.
Our mission is to nurture underutilized talent, helping individuals see how their skills can open doors to economic opportunity, purpose, and dignity.
We are guided by the principle of radical hospitality, which is woven into everything we do. This commitment is reflected in our values and culture, influencing every aspect of our work, from guest services to workforce training.
