\"causeway-grant-2014-03\"<\/a>Two UTC students have won grants from the Causeway Challenge competition which offered creative Chattanoogans the chance to make our city a more connected place.<\/p>\n

Mae Stuart submitted her idea for Coffee Cruisers, while Ella Sanders submitted her idea for a Community Caf\u00e9. They were two of the twenty winners to receive grants of $2,500.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, we are very proud of Ella and Mae \u2013 not only for winning the grants, but for working on their own initiative to create innovative, interesting, involving projects that will help better merge the University and community. Well done!” said Dr. Gregory O\u2019Dea, Director of the Brock Scholars Program.<\/p>\n

Mae Stuart, a freshman and a Brock Scholar, won the grant for her Coffee Cruisers idea.\u00a0 She\u2019ll partner with Bike Chattanooga to lead students on bike tours that introduce them to coffee shops and more downtown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized that none of my roommates were from Chattanooga, and most of my fellow freshman Brock Scholars weren\u2019t either, and I am. So I thought I would take them on tours so they would know where to go in town, and that kind of transformed into the idea of how to get UTC students in general out into the community,\u201d said Stuart. \u201cCoffee shops are a place that college students can just go and study or socialize or whatever they need to do. The broader idea is to get students into the downtown area and aware of local businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tours will either be given free or for a nominal fee and come with a 24-hour bike pass so that students can continue to explore downtown once the tour is over. Stuart is also in talks with area businesses to possibly provide free samples to students on the Coffee Cruisers tours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that these tours will lead to more than just coffee shops \u2013 I hope students will learn that downtown Chattanooga\u2019s not that far away, it\u2019s right there for them to engage with. We should be there. The more connection between UTC and Chattanooga, the better for all of us,\u201d said Stuart.<\/p>\n

Ella Sanders, a junior nonprofit management major and a Brock Scholar, won her grant for her Community Caf\u00e9 idea.<\/p>\n

The nonprofit caf\u00e9 will run on a \u201cpay as you can\u201d principle \u2013 each meal will have a suggested donation, but patrons can also pay with their time. People can volunteer for an hour in the caf\u00e9 in exchange for one meal voucher, performing tasks such as cleaning, bussing, or food prep.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a hand out, because you\u2019ve earned your meal. We want people to feel dignified and sit down to eat with everyone else,\u201d said Sanders. \u201cAnd anyone can come and donate their time in exchange for a meal voucher. We really hope to be able to help Chattanooga\u2019s homeless population, but it isn\u2019t limited to that. Anyone can volunteer, like a college student who doesn\u2019t have the money right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders was inspired to start the caf\u00e9 by similar ones around the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had visited a community caf\u00e9 in Jackson, Tennessee, and thought that it was something that Chattanooga needs,\u201d said Sanders. \u201cAnd I follow Causeway on Facebook and I saw that they were having the challenge, and I thought this would be a great idea for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Ayers, junior social work major, is partnering with Sanders to make the caf\u00e9 a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cElla told me about it and I\u2019m really interested in the homelessness issue. I thought this idea was amazing. I kept thinking about it and was so excited. I wanted to help make it happen,\u201d said Ayers.<\/p>\n

\"causeway-grant-2014-12\"<\/a>Food for the caf\u00e9 will come primarily from donations from local farms, farmers markets, and other businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to connect people to healthier options, so we\u2019re preparing the freshest meals we can for anyone who wants to come and eat,\u201d said Sanders. \u201cWe are trying to stick with fresh food, so we\u2019re hoping we can partner with local bakeries and stores as well as farms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere aren\u2019t a lot of places you can go to get fresh healthy food that aren\u2019t expensive. Because the food is donated, we will be able to keep prices lower. We want it to be affordable but healthy,\u201d said Ayers.<\/p>\n

Sanders\u2019s stepfather raises cattle, and has already donated a\u00a0whole\u00a0beef\u00a0to get them started.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked my mom if she could store it for me for the time being. I don\u2019t have enough room in my Lockmiller freezer,\u201d said Sanders.<\/p>\n

So far, Sanders and Ayers plan to serve breakfast and lunch, with meals like omelets, sandwiches, soups. The caf\u00e9\u2019s menu will constantly be changing, rotating with the food that is donated and the produce that is in season. Sanders and Ayers are going to be the primary cooks, and they are planning to attend cooking classes to diversify their recipes. They hope to eventually be able to have a chef to do the cooking and a broader variety of recipes once they have a permanent kitchen.<\/p>\n

Initially, there will be two pop up cafes. These will be one day events at a temporary location to spread the word about the Community Caf\u00e9 and to gauge public response. Sanders and Ayers are in the process of finding a permanent location for the caf\u00e9, hopefully centrally located downtown along the CARTA bus routes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of interest from the UTC community, and we would love for them to come out and support us. We really just need people to show up and to be a part of this, to volunteer but also just sit and eat a meal with a stranger,\u201d said Sanders. \u201cWe really want to establish a community hub where people of all walks of life can come and share a meal together. Chattanooga is so community minded, and there\u2019s such a sense of giving, that I don\u2019t think we will have a hard time finding people who want to give their time or in-kind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
