Our goal is to disguise a Soup Kitchen as a Restaurant. It will be staffed with volunteer greeters and waiters just like a typical sit-down eatery. We will provide freshly cooked meals on an unconditional, no questions asked, open-door policy to all who are struggling with food insecurity, free of charge! Real food served on real plates.*

We are committed to use food as a tool to strengthen bodies, empower minds and improve the quality of life by serving each person with dignity and respect. Having our guests treated with respect nourishes their soul, just as the food feeds their body.

Individuals in the community who are not struggling financially and are both willing and able to pay for their meals (on a donation basis) will in effect provide an equalizing outcome in that “your surplus might offset their need…so the person with much did not have too much, and the person with little did not have too little.”
