A pair of Twin Cities restaurants next month will help feed the need to support formerly incarcerated women working to reintegrate into the community.
On March 2, Rosati’s Pizza in Normal is donating 25 percent of its dine-in sales and 20 percent of carry-out and delivery sales to Labyrinth Outreach Services to Women, for patrons who mention Labyrinth when ordering. Contributions will be made for orders placed all day.
And then, on March 31, Noodles & Company in Normal will donate 10 percent of the value of all purchases between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. to the organization.
Labyrinth is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that provides long term supportive services to women from McLean County who have been incarcerated or are on probation. It collaborates with all available local social service agencies to assist women in remaining free of future court involvement. The goal is to significantly reduce criminal recidivism in McLean County.
Labyrinth recently received funding via two grants. The Illinois Prairie Community Foundation- Women to Women fund will support pre-employment/"soft" skills this spring, while the State Farm Bank Foundation will help Labyrinth continue classes exposing women to non-traditional employment and trades this summer and fall.
