Community Café
The Community Café serves three meals a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to shelter residents and anyone else in need of a meal. The welcoming Café area is a popular gathering place, and it is also used for community building and enrichment programs. Volunteers provide over 90% of the labor to prepare the meals, and community partners donate over 90% of the food. In the summer of 2012, to help clients find and keep jobs, we changed our lunch service to a more convenient packed lunch that clients pick up during breakfast time and take wherever their day may lead them. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, we will offer special noontime meals in the cafe.
In fiscal year 2011-2012, the Community Café served 230,501 meals. The Café serves an average of 630 meals per day.
