Church Leaders unite
with Rushford Economic Development Organization (REDO)
Rushford, NY - The Rushford Community Café, after a long
sixteen-month process, is ready to officially open its doors to the public. The
site, which was formerly Waites Coffee Shop and then lastly The Main Street
Café has been refurbished top to bottom with the help of board members and
community volunteers.
“The mission of the Rushford Community Café is to nourish
the community by feeding the body, mind, and spirit,” said Jonathan Finley,
Pastor at the Rushford Baptist Church.
The café will be open from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Monday-Saturday, and will serve all day breakfast, and lunch. There will be
pizza and subs available for takeout, as well as daily specials. The café will
add menu items and ice-cream in the future.
The Rushford Community Café is a not-for-profit café and
will incorporate a suggested donation for the food they serve. Those that can
pay extra will put some into the ‘Community Treasure Chest’ for those less
fortunate. The business will seek to utilize the efforts of volunteers
throughout the startup phase and the day to day operations.
The site will also double as the Rushford Community center,
and will be available for outside groups. Those interested should contact the
café manager.
