“The program gives her a sense of belonging and accomplishment. She has made many friendships with both clients and staff. WineBev provides a valuable service to a disadvantaged group of citizens that would be swept under the proverbial rug if not for this opportunity to participate in the American experience, that being work, socializing and commerce.”
