The Rooster's Perch Coffee & Book Company was founded to provide a place for people to gather and share a cup of coffee. In addition to coffee, used books can be donated and resold by young adults with special needs. This gives Associates and opportunity to catalogue and market books in the store as well as online while providing earning for themselves. This experience will prepare Associates to be employed.
