A new non-profit initiative has hit Central Florida. Cast Co-op, located at Cagan Crossings in Clermont, supports hospitality industry workers impacted by the pandemic by offering a place to sell goods, pick up groceries, pet food, or other life essentials.
The Cast Co-op, presented by Ear For You, Inc, Hospitality Pets in Need, and Ear For Each Other groups, opened on Saturday, April 24 to the general public. The entire community is welcome to come shop at the Co-op. Hospitality workers have prepared creative products ranging from crafts to special services at the Ear For Each Other Marketplace and profits stay with the sellers.
All hospitality workers affected by financial hardship are invited to complete an online eligibility form that can be found on castco-op.com. Once approved and needs are determined, Ear For You, Inc. will reach out to schedule an appointment for clients to visit.
