Coffee Outreach Opportunities

Time flies when you’re having fun! We are sad to see the weather changing so fast but we have greatly enjoyed our summer. This summer we went mobile. We helped River Falls and Menomonie Street Level Ministries in their fundraising efforts for their mission trip. We enjoyed both events the Vintage Baseball game and the rummage sale. It was fun to serve the community and alongside SLM and BDR. This was our second year doing the Vintage Baseball event and we continue to build that relationship with them. The mobile coffeehouse also joined BDR a few times at music over Menomin. We enjoyed the music and getting to know more people from the community.

Fall Happenings

This fall we have hit the ground running with the UW-Stout students back! We were able to give free breakfast coupons for the UW-Stout Blu Rah event and UW-Stout care packages for students. With that being said we have been serving anywhere from 32-68 breakfasts a week. Because of it we asked Street Level volunteers to assist in the morning breakfast rush. We had the pleasure to bring the mobile coffeehouse to the Epic Moth Parties each week. Many students were served and different people got to learn the mobile coffeehouse set up. We also traveled to River Falls and joined Street Level with their free coffee and frities give-away. We served over 100 people!! The coffeehouse also joined Street Level in hosting Jon Bloom. He talked to college-age people about not following your heart. The mobile coffeehouse is going to be on UW-Stouts campus with WOTS and BDR. There we will be giving away free coffee!

We have been really blessed to come alongside other ministries and serve with them. Please continue to pray for the Coffeehouse as we continue to grow, serve, and reach out to students.

We hope you have an opportunity this summer to come enjoy the weather and sit on the Blind Munchies Coffeehouse patio.  The patio is back up and running – serving espresso drinks Saturday and Sunday during the day and Tuesday through Friday evenings. During our other open hours, we welcome you to still come and enjoy it!

This summer we will bring the mobile coffeehouse to a few locations.  You will find us periodically at Music over Menomon. Also, we are joining up with Street Level a few times to help them raise funds for their spring missions trip –  We will join them at the River Falls Outreach Rummage Sale, June 30^th, and at the Blue Caps Baseball Festival, July 28^th.

Saturday morning breakfasts will still be available for the summer. We offer a rotating American style breakfast that is $2.00 for students and $3.00 for everyone else. We also added Strawberry Smoothies to our menu for a limited time this summer- these are available Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings and Saturday.

Please pray for our mobile outreaches this summer. We hope to engage with and be a blessing to the community through them.
