We’re beyond excited to share that Opportunity Enterprises is opening a cafe at the Valparaiso Family YMCA - OE Cafe!

This partnership is so much more than a new cafe — it’s an incredible opportunity to create meaningful employment, build skills, and expand inclusion in the heart of our community. We are deeply grateful to the YMCA for believing in our mission and opening their doors to the talents and potential of the people we serve.

The cafe will open in February. Stop by for Frozen Garden smoothies, iced coffees, teas, snacks, popcorn and more, and be part of something that’s brewing with purpose.

Together, we’re creating opportunity — one cup (or snack) at a time!
