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.
