Dallas' Café Momentum goes nationwide to give even more juvenile offenders a second chance
The biggest expansion challenge likely will be finding a chef and cheerleader as special as Chad Houser for each new restaurant.
Anyone with a heart can think back to the moment when injustice slammed you hard into the realization that “this is not the world I want to live in, I want to be a part of something different.”
You signed up for a volunteer gig, made generous donations or maybe even protested for change, circulated petitions and influenced colleagues and friends.
If you are like most of us, that epiphany eventually dimmed and you slipped back into the rhythms of your own existence.
For Dallas chef Chad Houser, that moment of clarity never loosened its grip. Instead, it changed his life — and it has changed the lives of more than 1,000 teens whom his nonprofit Café Momentum has provided with second chances.
