Tomorrow marks three years since Howard and his family opened the doors to Jacksonville’s Bitty & Beau’s Coffee, a place built on inclusion, opportunity, and the belief that every person deserves meaningful employment.
As we celebrate this milestone, we honor Howard’s legacy and the love he brought to our community. To his family, we stand with you. Thank you for continuing his mission with such strength and grace. Your impact reaches far beyond the walls of your shop!
We are also deeply grateful to Bitty & Beau’s and to the many employers across Northeast Florida who open their doors to individuals with Down syndrome, creating pathways for independence and belonging:
121 Financial, Cruisers Grill, Tropical Smoothie, Noah’s Agape, AquaFin Swim School, Hope’s Closet, Wawa, Maple Street, Subaru/Cinotti’s, Happy Brew, Chick-fil-A, Bahama Breeze, the Jacksonville Icemen, Birdsong, Publix, PDQ, YMCA, Al’s Pizza, and Jeremiah’s Ice Cream.
Thank you for championing inclusive employment and recognizing the talent and value that individuals with Down syndrome bring to the workforce.
Together, we build a more inclusive Jacksonville. 💙💛
