When we opened the doors on a small little coffee shop, we had a big vision: Creating a place to support special needs families and build community awareness. Through constant remodeling, bureaucratic battles, equipment failures, minor disasters of every type, a pandemic, forced lockdowns ... you name it, our families, our staff and our community have made it all unforgettable.

While we absolutely love what God has allowed us to build here, we are being called into the next stage. We have decided to sell the coffee shop - On June 30th, new owners will take the helm! They too have a heart for special needs, so the same staff will be there to greet you Tuesday morning, but they will bring fresh ideas and fresh energy and our hope is this special place just gets better and better.

Don't worry, we are not disappearing. Through The Hitching Post, we will continue to fight for the rights of special needs students, and we will be starting up Agape Community Services to provide special needs day support right there in the 357 Shops.

Huge thanks to everyone who has helped and supported us over the years - you are amazing! We could not have done any of this without you and without God blessing us at every turn. Thank you all!
