Proudly hailing from our HQ in Midwest, we are grateful to be selected to join the REDF accelerator program.
Join us in welcoming six entrepreneurs representing three Midwest employment social enterprises to our 2025 #REDFAccelerator cohort! ?? Danielle S Parker & Dion Dawson join us from Dion's Chicago Dream, an employment social enterprise revolutionizing food equity through last-mile delivery and logistics. Dion’s expands access to fresh produce for Chicago families and creates living-wage jobs for people overcoming barriers to employment. Elvis Eneh & Reda Ibrahim represent us from RK Contractors LLC, a construction employment social enterprise operating in Kansas City, MO. RK Contractors delivers master-level services to the community while creating employment and training opportunities for immigrants and Missourians overcoming barriers to employment. Chris Santillan & Rosa Mayer join the cohort from Unlocked Labs, a social enterprise founded by justice-impacted technologists dedicated to improving access to education for those still incarcerated. Based out of St. Louis, they operate a digital learning platform for incarcerated students to deliver web development and coding education programs.
