empowering food entrepreneurs and transforming communities. With our 6888 Kitchen Incubator, we provide state-of-the-art facilities, mentorship programs, and access to capital. Our goal is to shape the future of the culinary industry, foster economic growth, and revolutionize the way we think about food. Join us in making a positive impact!
The "Six Triple Eight"
Paying respect to American heroes
The 6888th was the first and only all Black Female Women Army Corps (WAC) unit to be deployed overseas during WWII.
The unit was active from 1945 to 1946 and consisted of 855 women under the Command of Major Charity Adams (resident of Dayton OH), Captains Mary F. Kearney and Bernice G. Henderson.
What our Members say
"I am excited about being a part of this project as it is not only historical, but instrumental for the growth of small food businesses, like mine. Being a food entrepreneur, there are so many obstacles when you don't have a hub. Having worked several years from my licensed home kitchen, and pop-up tent setups, this gives my business the structures needed to grow successfully. This kitchen will allow me to expand my menu, as well as have a place where my customers can find me."
