Smiles and Great Deals Await at the JSC Café and Gift Shop

Ann Brown, one of the dedicated JSC Café Volunteers, greets visitors with a warm smile at the Johnston Senior Center Café and Gift Shop — home to some of the best “deals in town.” Open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Café offers a welcoming space where patrons can enjoy complimentary coffee, breakfast pastries, and good conversation. In addition to affordable snacks, drinks, and candy bars — all just one dollar — guests can browse a selection of handmade crafts and unique gift items, many priced at only a few dollars. The Café is also home to the daily “puzzle group,” whose finished puzzles are beautifully mounted and available for purchase starting at just three dollars. With a large screen TV and plenty of friendly faces, the Café is a cozy hub for relaxation and socializing. Staffed entirely by volunteers, every purchase directly supports JSC programs. Interested in joining the team? Stop by or give the Senior Center a call to learn how you can get involved.
