ARC of the Treasure Coast Acquires Stuart Restuarant for Job Training & Employment Program for Adults with Disabilities 

“The ARC of the Treasure Coast is getting into the restaurant business. The organization acquired Alice’s Family Restaurant, A Caring Cafe at 2781 S.E. Ocean Blvd. in Stuart. The fully operational restaurant will serve deli fare including sandwiches and salads and will train and employ individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities under the guidance of the ARC of the Treasure Coast. While the ARC offers similar job training opportunities, ACC will be a new expansion into food service training.”

ACC uses the Boar's Head Corp. training module focusing on all aspects of working in food service, ranging from restaurant and deli to food distribution in an on-the-job environment. Indian River Provisions will provide consulting, training, equipment, and product for the operations.

The intensive training of individuals with disabilities and low-income clientele is focused on employment preparedness. The goal is to develop successful candidates who can be employed by companies like Publix, restaurants, and other food providers including ACC.
