My Brother’s Workshop proudly hosted the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Stephenson Family Welcome Center Dec. 9, in the presence of generous donors, supporters, and community partners.
Guests were welcomed with light bites and refreshments prepared by MBW’s Café and Bakery, followed by remarks presented by Jenny Hawkes, Executive Director, Chrystie Payne, Program Director, and Annie Stephenson Hostetler, on behalf of the Stephenson family. Attendees enjoyed guided tours of the new facility, which features an event space, café, office and classroom areas, conference room, and a state-of-the-art industrial kitchen.
