Yonkers–I toured the amazing Greyston Bakery recently and learned about “Open Hiring” and “Social Entrepreneurship,” the work and mission of the Greyston Foundation in southwest Yonkers. Over any given week, some 75 “Open Hired” employees, i.e.,”no questions asked; just hired,” are baking (mouth watering) brownies and cookies for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Whole Foods. Along with health benefits, the employees receive job training and other support to transition back from a variety of difficult circumstances, including prison, into productive members of their community. More coverage forthcoming in future editions of The Inside Press. In the meantime, visit www.greyston.com — Grace
