https://www.cafe180.org/volunteer CAFE 180 is a restaurant where 100% of the proceeds from your meal go directly toward feeding those who are experiencing food insecurity. At CAFE 180, all of the free meals we provide to those facing food insecurity are prepared daily in our kitchen and delivered to partner organizations in the Denver Metro area. Our non-profit depends on volunteers as we have limited full-time staff. Our volunteers allow us to be able to offer free meals with dignity as well as invite the community into our mission. No special skills are required! We’re just looking for people that enjoy learning, serving in their community and meeting new people. Volunteers help prepare salads, sandwiches, soups, caterered meals, and wash dishes. Everyone works together to keep the kitchen running smoothly. ___________________ EVERYBODY EATS. We believe that lives can be transformed by eating real, nutritionally-dense and delicious food prepared consistently and prepared well. ALL ARE WELCOME. CAFE 180 creates space for everyone to feel good about the food they eat, the work they do, the people they connect to, and the time they spend. We get to know all people as individuals and invite everyone to be part of our community. EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER. Everyone has something to give and everyone is worthy of receiving. We look for creative ways to balance our traditional systems of exchange, allowing people to volunteer their time if they don’t have the resources to pay for a meal. WE’RE ALL CONNECTED. We stand by the side of people in our community who are traditionally left out of our social structure, and give all people a chance to connect with people who they may not spend time with on an average day.

Organization Information
Mission Statement
Everyone deserves a great meal. When you order food from CAFE 180, you help our nonprofit restaurant provide free meals to people experiencing food insecurity.
Description
Our story starts in 2010, when our founders saw the issue of food insecurity in our Englewood neighborhood.
They opened CAFE 180 with the mission of feeding everyone. Those who can pay, pay. Those who can’t pay give of their time in exchange for lunch, which on an average week amounts to 30-40 percent of our customers. Since we started, we’ve served more than 100,000 meals in this dignified exchange.
