Social problem that this organization and restaurant are addressing

Britton and Stephens work at Wildflour, a cafe, bakery and catering business in Chantilly where two-thirds of the employees have intellectual disabilities. Started in 1994 by a special-education teacher in the Fairfax County Public Schools, the nonprofit organization has expanded to employ more than 50 people. One of the 10 businesses contracted with Fairfax County to employ people with intellectual disability, Wildflour trains them as prep cooks, packagers and greeters, and sends them home with more than just a paycheck. The employees, who range in age from 21 to 58, work from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., make $7.25 an hour and have sick leave, vacation days and profit-sharing. Some have worked there since the 1990s.

They typically rotate through different tasks every few weeks, chopping vegetables, cutting cookies or manning the cafe counter
