We will welcome two of the Co-Founders of the So Much to Give Inclusive Cafe located just outside Skippack Village. The Cafe is owned by a non-profit founded by Kathy Opperman called Pillars of Light and Love. Pillars has offered free youth and adult empowerment programs, community kindness projects, and support groups to the Collegeville area community for the past 10 years. In 2021 Kathy teamed up with Maureen Stanko-who has an adult son with autism- to expand Pillars' programs to serve young adults with disabilities. In 2022, the two collaborated with Tyler Kammerle, a young man with a degree in Special Education and extensive experience working with children and adults with disabilities. Tyler had a dream to open a restaurant to employ individuals who struggle to find employment because of their different abilities. Both Tyler and Kathy, who is a friend of member Rick Kowey, will join us to share their challenging and rewarding journey of serving this important population in the community.
