Freedom a la Cart

What began as a single food cart to help survivors overcome barriers to employment has evolved into a bustling box lunch and drop-off catering company, a fast-casual café + bakery, and a first-of-its-kind survivor resource center -- “The Freedom Loft.” The Freedom a la Cart Café + Bakery brings fresh, from scratch pastries + breakfast + lunch + locally roasted coffee to downtown Columbus. Dine-in, patio seating, takeout and downtown delivery is available.

Freedom a la Cart empowers survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation to build lives of freedom and self-sufficiency. We believe that women who’ve been exploited through the commercial sex industry should be empowered to gain freedom through personal and economic independence. So we’ve created a safe place of restoration where survivors can heal, learn and grow as they prepare for sustainable employment and reintegrate into our community.
