In case you are out shopping for ice cream on this 80-degree day... Alphabet Scoop, run by The Father's Heart Ministries next door, is now open for the season at 543 E. 11th St. between Avenue A and Avenue B...
And here's more about them:
Alphabet Scoop is a job and life skills program for teens. The program is designed to prepare teens with the skills needed to advance in their school and work endeavors. Teenagers receive classroom instruction and work under a shift supervisor in the retail store.
We recruit and screen mentors to work with the teens, offering friendship, guidance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee. We belong to the Mentoring Partnership of New York. Every time you buy our ice cream, you are helping a teen remain in a teaching and nurturing environment and off the streets.
They are open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. today.
And upcoming on May 12...
I tend to divide my time (in the warm months) between here and Mikey Likes It. But Alphabet Scoop has ice cream and same for their customer service. Both spots are an asset to the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This has been one of my favorite organizations in the neighborhood for several years. Thanks for the heads-up Grieve! I will definitely head over there in a few hours.
