Iredell Community Outreach Association added a doughnut-shop social enterprise after relocation difficulties

Executive Director Josh McCrary said building problems and repeated moves had brought the nonprofit close to closing before the new shop opened. The organization presents the shop as an earned-revenue venture whose proceeds support community work.
