For Those Who Dream Beyond Limits
The Kati Mac Education Foundation supports a full-service floral design business to provide a space for those with intellectual disabilities to learn, train and grow through a meaningful employment opportunity.
Giving back to our community was always a part of our lives. However, the “how and why” to give back expanded when an unbelievable opportunity was presented to us. For years we dreamed about running a retail business in the borough of West Chester where individuals with special needs could work. We hoped to provide an opportunity to provide independence, purpose, and meaningful work to those with special needs, however, we never expected so many people—especially brides—to embrace our vision of a cause-based business supporting people with special needs. All parents envision the future of their kids, but for parents of kids with special needs, thinking about the future can bring more questions than answers. An answer to one of those questions became clear when we learned of an opportunity to purchase a well-established flower shop with a fantastic tenured staff. It seemed too good to be true: a turnkey shop with a great reputation and years of experience working with brides, wedding planners, and venues from Center City to the Jersey Shore. Now a few years into our venture, the mission is thriving. More than half of our team are individuals with special needs and the shop's legacy staff is so very proud to be a part of the unique and inclusive environment. Kati Mac employees say they love working with flowers because flowers make them happy. Providing purpose to individuals with special needs and bringing joy through flowers to their customers has been a beautiful marriage.
