A ribbon-cutting March 31 marked the opening of Uncommon Grounds Coffee House and Cafe, 861 U.S. 90, Bayou Vista, a nonprofit 501c3 and an extension of The Purple Lemon, Inc. The faith-based program provides transitional housing, employment, financial and life skills training, as well as one-on-one counseling to ladies who complete a one-year, in-house treatment program with Adult and Teen Challenge. Ladies are employed by Uncommon Grounds and receive above-market wages. Once they complete one year of the program and save $1,000, they will receive $3,000 in scholarship funds to purchase a vehicle or build funds for transitioning
