Free Community Event at Calico Cat

Friends of Larchmont is hosting a free family event at the Calico Cat located at 2137 Gwynn Oak Ave on Saturday, September 28, from 12-4pm. Come enjoy live jazz, food truck, children's activities, and learn about this community project to convert the Calico Cat into a community cafe and gathering space! Open to all!

A community cafe is a great idea for several reasons:

• It serves as a gathering place for people of all ages and backgrounds, fostering social interactions and community bonding.

• By sourcing ingredients from local farmers and suppliers, it helps boost the local economy and encourages sustainable practices.

• It can host events that celebrate local culture, art, and music, promoting diversity and inclusion within the community.

• A community cafe can focus on providing healthy, homemade food options, promoting better eating habits among residents.

• It can offer workshops and training programs, helping community members develop new skills, whether in cooking, barista training, or business management.

• Providing a relaxed environment where people can connect can improve mental well-being and reduce feelings of isolation.

• It can create opportunities for community members to volunteer, fostering a sense of ownership and pride in the cafe.

• A community cafe can serve as an information hub, offering resources about local services, events, and support networks.

Overall, a community cafe can significantly enhance the social fabric and overall well-being of a community.
