Community Café

We know firsthand that hunger and homelessness are symptoms of poverty.

Our Community Café provides free, nutritious meals to meet the critical and immediate need for food in our low-income community, all in a welcoming environment. We serve meals Monday through Friday and strive to offer food that is not only nutritious but also delicious. Through our Community Café, many of our members are introduced to our other key programs, which provide essential resources and support as they fight to stabilize their lives.

YEARS OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Everyone Deserves Good Food

Since 2020, our Community Café  has provided more than 330,000 nutritious meals. In 2023, the cost of rent in New York City rose seven (7) times faster than wages, and the cost of food increased by 25%. Our low-income neighbors face the impossible choice between paying rent or feeding their families. Most people who come through our doors are in critical need of stable, safe, affordable housing.

Volunteering in Our Community Café

Volunteering in our Community Café is a meaningful way to support our work and make a tangible impact. We provide structured volunteer opportunities that promote skill building, a sense of belonging, social connection, and personal growth. Volunteers often leave feeling empowered, knowing they’ve made a real difference in the lives of others. Opportunities are available Monday through Friday, with up to six (6) volunteers per meal service.
