Real-world learning starts with leaders who believe in the power of opportunity. 🎒✨ Today, we want to extend a massive thank you to our local school districts: Buena Vista, Salida, and Leadville.

Behind the scenes, we collaborate closely with dedicated special education teachers and counselors to ensure our programs adapt beautifully to the unique needs of every participant they refer to us.

An extra special shout-out goes to the Buena Vista School District—thanks to their incredible generosity, Little Engine Eatery operates right on school district property under a rent-free lease. This support directly allows us to funnel more resources right back into our trainees and program development.

From classrooms to coffee shops and food trailers, thank you for helping us build a more inclusive future for our students! 🚂☕️

New trailer, same incredible mission—built with a little help from our friends! 🚚💨

A huge shout-out goes to Evan at The Buena Viking () for his incredibly generous consultation on operating our brand-new food trailer at Little Engine Eatery!

Evan's expert advice helped us streamline our setup so our trainees have the perfect, efficient workspace to learn real-world job skills, gain confidence, and serve up smiles this season.

We are so lucky to live in a community where local business owners lift each other up. Thank you, Evan, for investing your time and expertise into our crew! 🚂🍔

To us, being a good business means being a good neighbor—and we have the absolute best neighbors in the Buena Vista Heritage Society. 🏛️❤️

For years, the BV Museum team has supported Little Engine Eatery in so ways—big and small—from sharing storage and restrooms, to offering informal mentorship and a warm welcome to our participants from museum staff and visitors alike.

Their support goes deep. They sponsor Achieve’s annual fall social event, and in the past, they even collaborated with us to host a custom internship tailored specifically to a participant’s unique interests.

History is about community, and the Heritage Society is helping us write a more inclusive chapter every single day. Thank you for always opening your doors and your hearts to our crew! 🚂🍂

Big news is coming your way! 🚂💨

The Little Engine Eatery is getting ready to roll into a brand-new season, and we’re pulling up with some seriously upgraded wheels. Thanks to a generous donor, we have a brand-new food trailer!

We’re keeping the same name and same location, but creating a much better, more comfortable space for our Achievers and mentors. This new setup lets us expand our menu while staying right on track with the clean, high-quality eats you love.

All aboard for the best season yet—stay tuned for our official opening day!
