There are some people who make a difference simply by showing up… and then there are people like Mr. Calderone.
From the moment we opened our doors in February, he jumped in with both feet, bringing his incredible energy, kindness, and love for this community into Sweet Clementine’s. Last Tuesday, watching him greet families, laugh with students, and serve tacos with a smile reminded us why Sweet Clementine’s exists, to bring people together.
Last Taco Tuesday was something we’ll never forget. Between 3:00 and 8:00 PM, more than 100 people came through our doors to support our little cafe, our mission of creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with all abilities, and to spend time with someone who has touched so many lives.
Mr. Calderone, thank you for believing in us, for giving your time so generously, and for everything you do for the children and families of our community. Your impact reaches far beyond the classroom, and we are truly overwhelmed with gratitude. ❤️
To every single person who came out, waited in line, shared a meal, and supported our dream, thank you. You made it one of the most memorable nights we’ve had, and our hearts are so full. To our amazing team- thank you for taking your time to come in and help prepare and serve everyone!
Now the big question…
Who’s going to be our next Guest Chef? 👨🍳
