We are a non-profit organization serving children and adults with developmental disabilities. Our 6 unique Chico, CA retail locations provide employment that is not subminimal wage. Our retail and horticulture departments employ 175 developmentally disabled adults, supported through the sales of items. 100% of our sales/donations benefit quality programs for children and adults with developmental disabilities like Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and other cognitive disabilities.
Meet the Business Owner: Teresa H.
Teresa Wolk Hayes is the executive director and founder of Little Red Hen. After Teresa's son was diagnosed with autism the dream of Little Red Hen began. With the help of local businesses, children, families, teachers, and friends, she soon had a successful Plant Nursery in downtown Chico providing employment to adults with developmental disabilities, followed by several other unique stores.
Teresa has dedicated her life to helping others, and her passion has spawned so much more than just businesses. It spouted awareness, support, self-esteem, education, and most importantly it has forever changed the lives of many people in our community.
