Gerry’s Café is named in honor of Geralyn Wehmer, who defied societal norms in 1958 by being raised at home despite having Down syndrome. Her legacy inspires the café's mission to provide a nurturing environment for adults with disabilities. Co-founders Natalie and Amy, drawing from personal experiences, established the café to create meaningful employment opportunities and foster a sense of belonging for individuals with disabilities.
Gerry's Café proudly employs over 40 adults with disabilities, equipping them with essential job training and life skills. This initiative fosters community, purpose, and a shift in perceptions regarding the capabilities of individuals with disabilities.
