East Meets West Weekend - Benefiting Community Food Banks

East meets West at a special Lingenfelter Cars & Coffee weekend, July 14 and 15. Car enthusiasts start each summer weekend enjoying auto “show and tell” during Lingenfelter Cars & Coffee Series at Lingenfelter’s North Engine Build Facility in Wixom. For this special weekend, participants are invited to spend two days sharing “everything auto” with others in and around Lansing.

On Saturday, July 14, West will meet East at Lingenfelter’s North Engine Build Facility as hundreds of car lovers gather to show off their auto designs and see the latest and greatest in performance cars from Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. The next day, Sunday, July 15, all are invited to meet up again – but in the Lansing area. Henry’s Place on Marsh Rd in Okemos will be the place to convene. Attendees will enjoy a cup of coffee while they visit with those they missed meeting on Saturday. Henry's Place is also offering a breakfast special with proceeds benefitting the Greater Lansing Food Bank.

“This is a great opportunity to be introduced to other car enthusiast in the state,” said Kevin Bell, Lansing Cars & Coffee director. “It is always fun to see and share new ideas in car design and witness what others have changed on their cars.”

East Meets West Cars & Coffee will be held rain or shine. While there is no fee to participate in either event, guests are asked to bring nonperishable food items, or make a monetary donation, to a local food bank: Gleaners Community Food Bank and The Greater Lansing Food Bank.

“Greater Lansing Food Bank's mission is to partner to alleviate hunger one meal at a time, in order to create a future where everyone has access to nourishing food,” said Kim Harkness, director of operations for the Greater Lansing Food Bank. “Our partnership with the Lingenfelter Cars & Coffee Series will bring awareness and food to our local communities. Thank you for being a part of our mission!”
