SCORE Mentors Madison

This #Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the local businesses that bring people together, like Poland Provisions—a café and general store that’s more than just a business, it’s a community hub. Sheila Foley’s home kitchen venture, launched in 2019, has grown into a thriving operation that now employs over 20 people and serves locals, tourists and vacationers. From grass-fed beef to fresh, locally sourced food, Poland Provisions embodies a commitment to quality and ethical practices. When Sheila faced supply chain challenges during the pandemic, SCORE provided invaluable guidance, helping her develop business plans and address critical needs, allowing the business to expand successfully.
