Anthony Davis founded Bless It LLC in 2005, starting with humble beginnings serving meals from the basement of his father’s church. Long before food delivery platforms became common, Anthony built a grassroots catering operation focused on community and service. Over time, Bless It LLC grew, and by 2020, Anthony was on the verge of securing several business investments to expand operations and staffing.

However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted his progress. “When that hit, it just wiped me out,” Anthony shared. “It’s like I’m still reinventing.”

In the face of financial challenges and limited access to capital, Anthony transitioned his operations to a dual-home kitchen model. While Bless It LLC continued to operate, he lacked the tools necessary to efficiently manage workforce-related tasks such as inhouse financing, digital marketing, and administrative tracking functions critical to employee retention and growth.

Recognizing these barriers, Tabor 100, through its partnership with the Workforce Development Council (WDC), identified Bless It LLC as a priority population business eligible for workforce development assistance. Anthony received a computer at no cost, allowing him to streamline his internal systems, manage orders, handle payroll digitally, and enhance online outreach—functions directly tied to workforce efficiency and sustainability.

“If it wasn’t for the support from Tabor 100 and Workforce, I would’ve had to dip into savings or go into more debt,” Anthony explained. “This equipment doesn’t just help me—it helps keep my team moving and makes our day-to-day operations possible.”

The impact goes beyond technology, it represents opportunity. “It gives hope that somebody cares,” he said. “These programs give people the chance to grow. What you guys are doing is amazing!”
