Our meal events are two and a half hours in length and include live music. Our events are socially engaging events meant to bring the community together, regardless of social status. We believe all people deserve to have access to healthy food an environment that is free of judgment and stigma.

We have used buffet style and we always wanted to have sit-down table service or family-style. We have decided it's time to try to host our meal events with a wait staff of volunteers. Take orders and serving our guests.

Our vision is to have a full-service storefront cafe to serve the public. We are working toward that goal. In the meantime, we will continue to serve the community on a monthly basis.
