Before its scheduled October 5 opening, Shelbyville’s new 7 Brew is advertising a fundraiser for children who need beds.
Shelbyville, Kentucky — Opening Monday, October 5, 2026 Address: 500 Hill N Dale Drive. The opening date appears on the full calendar shared by A Place to Sleep.
The named beneficiary provides beds and bedding for children. According to its history, Jessica Collins founded A Place to Sleep in December 2009 at age 10 after learning that students at her school lacked beds. The ministry grew from First Presbyterian Church in Shelbyville and works with school family-resource coordinators on referrals.
That gives the September preview a specific local purpose. The charity’s fundraiser announcement promotes free small drinks; the fuller opening flyer describes pay-what-you-want drinks, a limited menu and all proceeds going to A Place to Sleep. Treat this as a donation-focused event.
All times below are local, Eastern time. Sources checked September 21.
- September 25–27 — Caffeine for a Cause: Friday and Saturday, 7 a.m.–7 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Pay what you want; proceeds benefit A Place to Sleep.
