Welcome to the Dryden Community Center Café

Who are we?

We are a not-for-profit community center organized and staffed by volunteers with the goal of offering the community of Dryden and surrounding areas a relaxed and welcoming place in which to gather for coffee and conversation.

Now there is a place for you to find community events posted for everyone to keep updated, and a gallery for local students and other artists to showcase their work. Groups and organizations can use the space to have meetings, hold classes, or host an event. Weekends are filled with music or even a poetry slam!

Young mothers might find each other gathered in the back watching their children play. Seniors have a great spot in the front to keep an eye on all the comings and goings. And students have a safe and friendly environment to meet their friends at the end of the school day.

How do we do this?

By having a café! Rather than hosting fundraising events throughout the course of the year as most community centers do, we run a small café to generate the funding for our overhead and programs. This café is staffed as much as possible by volunteers to keep costs reasonable, and we will soon be able to send funding back into other local organizations through our profits.

Do you need to be a member?

No! While we love to have new members join us, we encourage everyone to stop in for a cup of coffee, ice cream cone, or just to visit with friends! People can become members to show additional support of our project and to have the ability to vote on our board of directors.

So take a few minutes and browse through our website. Have ideas? Contact us at drydencommunitycafe@yahoo.com.

See you soon!
