WHAT: Vitality Bowls, Manteca’s go-to superfood café known for its açaí bowls, smoothies, juices, salads and more, is celebrating new ownership with a two-day Community Appreciation Weekend on Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13. Guests are invited to meet the café’s new owner and enjoy a Buy One, Get One 50% Off deal on açaí bowls through the Vitality Bowls app all weekend long as a thank-you to the Manteca community for its continued support over the years.
WHY: In January 2026, Silvana Robin, owner of the Vitality Bowls café in Modesto and the Vitality Bowls food truck, took ownership of the Manteca café. The Community Appreciation Weekend is an opportunity to introduce Silvana to the community, thank loyal guests for their continued support and reaffirm the team’s commitment to serving Manteca for years to come.

The High&nbsp;Holidays are central to our Jewish living, not because they mark an historic event, but because they embody an essential Jewish process: intense personal and communal introspection held in play with boundless hope that our behavior will make a difference. In these difficult and painful times with so much division in our community and our country, we need to share in our Jewish journeys. That's why we invite you to participate this year, either in person or on Zoom.
