Where Tech and Taste Meet
The Digital Cafe and Lounge is a job development center for young adults with developmental disabilities. Here is where our clients will have an opportunity to learn about the food service industry, micro-economics through vending sales, and skills in audio/visual production.
A portion of the proceeds goes to help feed economically dis-advantaged members of our community in the South Sacramento area.
The cafe will offer breakfast and lunch by day then by night the space becomes a lounge offering food, music and entertainment for charitable purposes.
