Free Coffee Fridays

The Environmental Center is opening its doors and inviting the community to visit its facility on Friday mornings throughout the summer while enjoying a free cup of coffee!  
 
Visitors are welcome to check out our public facility, meet our staff and relax on our outdoor deck with free wi-fi.   The goal of Free Coffee Fridays is to introduce people to our organization and the
services we offer to our community.
 
Guests are asked to please bring their own reusable cup to ensure these events are truly sustainable.  Additionally, alternative forms of transportation to the event such as biking, walking, carpooling or
using the bus is encouraged.
 
The events will be held every Friday starting July 2nd and ending August 27th at The Environmental Center at 16 NW Kansas Avenue in downtown Bend.  Coffee will be served between 8:30am – 10:30am.
