The Richard King Mellon Foundation recently awarded New Hope for Neighborhood Renewal a $69,000 grant to assist in energy efficiency improvements and operations at The Café ‘n Creamery over the next two years. 

The Café ‘n Creamery is housed in a former nuisance bar, located in the Marshall-Shadeland neighborhood on the North Side.  In addition to serving specialty coffee drinks, gelato, ice cream and light lunch items, it employs three college students from the neighborhood, showcases the talents of local artists and provides a family centered atmosphere for the neighborhood and a location for community meetings.

Special thanks to the William B. McLaughlin Charitable Trust for their continued support of the Café and Creamery.  A $4000 grant has been awarded to NHNR for  energy improvements at The Café ‘n Creamery, a social enterprise that offers a warm and friendly atmosphere and great coffee and ice cream!

Additionally, a big thank you to the Massey Charitable Trust for their $10,000 contribution in support of the Y.E.S. and S.T.E.P. youth education programs.
