As we say goodbye to Drexel University’s EAT Café we commend the University for the work it has done in West Philadelphia.  Thousands of people ate, gave, and supported EAT Café and its community.   

Pay-what-you-can restaurants are not exempt from the same challenges of traditional restaurants.  According to the University of Ohio, 60% of traditional restaurants fail in the first year, and 80% of traditional restaurants fail in 5 years. 

Nonprofit restaurants have added restrictions on access to capital; pressure to immediately build community; and expectations to solve large social issues, while also operating a fully functional restaurant.  This is why nonprofit restaurants need extra support including grants, fundraising, and organizations like One World Everybody Eats.

Take Root Cafe provides healthy option for ...

Tracy Parks and her husband, opened Take Root Café in Kirksville, Missouri, in late 2016 as a pay-what-you-can spot serving healthy fare that is sourced locally as much as possible. Over the course of a year, Parks says, Take Root works with 12 local farmers, plus regional producers. 

"We wanted to have healthy food be accessible to everyone. Adair County is one of the poorest counties in Missouri; 1 in 4 or 5 are food insecure," she says. "[Usually] the cheapest foods possible are highly processed, high fat, high sugar. So we want to make sure people who are on a budget or can't afford food get access to healthy food here."

Community Cafes Continue to Ensure Everybody Eats

Community Cafes Continue to Ensure Everybody Eats

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a significant strain on the restaurant industry. Millions of restaurant workers have been laid off or furloughed, and the National Restaurant Association estimates that 30% of all restaurants nation-wide will not have the financial means to reopen.

And while the threat of restaurants closing looms, our Community Cafes continue to ensure everyone eats! Many have reinvented the pay-what-you-can model during this health crisis to offer to-go meals. And, all of our member cafes are committed to their mission and their community during this time.

Tricklebee Cafe Offers 'Thriving Family' Bags During COVID-19 Pandemic

Tricklebee Cafe is temporarily closed during the COVID-19 Pandemic; but that isn’t stopping them from serving their community!

“The COVID-19 crisis has us in the unique situation of being located in an underserved area, which is currently one of the hot spots for COVID-19 infections in Milwaukee. We are committed to finding ways that we can help, no matter how small, to lessen the stress of our community. We are also committed to providing remote work options and income for our employees during these uncertain and challenging times. We will begin handing out “Thriving Family” bags to families in need in our area. These bags include: healthy snack bags, art supplies, & books for children, non-perishable foods (such as canned beans & soups), toiletries, and fresh produce, as it is available. By offering these bags, we aim to bring a smile, a little break, and some hope to our neighbors.”
