Our Volunteers are the best!!!
You may have noticed that the cafe has been open more often. We owe this to our gracious volunteers. Typically, we open 3pm-5pm with the help of high school students and 6pm-8pm compliments of our board along with a handful of community members. If you'd like to explore our hours weekly, you can find them on line or look for the printed copy posted at the cafe.
Jefferson County Recycling Program Awareness
We have teamed up with the Jefferson County Recycling Program to help spread awareness. We realize the importance of such a program and are taking a few steps to encourage community members to become educated and get involved.
- Please take a moment to check out the on line presence to find the site closest to you, understand the basics, take a survey and consider a small donation.
After School Tutoring Program
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 3pm-5pm
Can your children use a little extra help with their school work? Thanks to a handful of thoughtful volunteers, we are offering the cafe as an after school learning center to help shape the young minds within our community.
