I had the pleasure of trying Street Cafe in Scottsdale last week and it was such a great experience! Head over here to check them out on facebook. They offer huge breakfasts for $6 and lunches for $7. Think about them for catering, the prices are very reasonable. The money raised all goes to help hungry kids. They’re located at 10435 N. Scottsdale Road and open Monday-Friday from 8AM-2PM. The food is delicious and the idea behind the place is even better. I loved meeting the people who run the place and even two long time Alicia’s Deals readers who are Street Cafe regulars.
“Bags of Hope provide the nutrition necessary to properly fuel a child’s body and brain; allowing him/her to live a healthier life, attend school more regularly, score (on average) 12% better in reading and (on average) 26% better in math… A Bag of Hope (weekend food) paves the way for a better tomorrow for kids in need.”
Healthy food can do so much for our children’s health, minds, and souls. I want to bring my kids to help pack food backpacks.
They explain their mission on thir website:
“We at Street Cafe believe:
