The Summer Cafe was a community raised organization that wanted to provide kids in Minneapolis with meals over the summer. Planning began in 2017 and included many individuals through out the Minneapolis community. Local churches jumped on board and supported the vision of the Summer Cafe and community donations made the dream a reality. It ran for several summers offering meals in the Minneapolis community. During the spring of 2020, the Summer Cafe was approached by several communities to see if the Summer Cafe would provide meals in those communities as well. Thanks to grants and local donations, the Summer Cafe was able to meet the needs in those communities. Over the years, the services have continued to be offered to several communities in the county. Unfortunately, resources have not been able to keep up with the need. The Summer Cafe made several cuts over the last two years stretching funds to continue serving the county, like cutting the amount of food offered and reducing the number of weeks meals are available. Unfortunately, it is no longer feasible to serve the county. The Planning Committee decided to return to the original plan for the Summer Cafe which is providing a warm nutritious meal in a safe environment in Minneapolis.
