Community-based solutions that will reduce food insecurity, isolation and poor health.

Our Vision: to open a storefront cafe to serve the community on a regular basis.

Our Vision: We strive to build a healthy community by providing delicious and nutritious food in a respectful and dignified manner to anyone who walks through the door and wants to contribute to our community. We envision that the quality of the food and the comfortable atmosphere will draw people from all walks of life and entice them to become involved.

History Since April 2016, Harmony Cafe has hosted meal events, primarily at the VFW hall on Edwards Street in Patchogue, NY. We use a Pay-What-You-Can pricing donation model, which can be exchanged for volunteer hours. This encourages more community involvement and allows us to encourage people to join us from all socioeconomic backgrounds. During the pandemic, we switched to emergency food relief. In 2021, we added a wellness program that provides health education and access to healthy food.
