Deep Dive: Taste Community Restaurants

Deep Dive: Taste Community Restaurants

Join us as we learn the ins and outs of our host cafe: Taste Community Restaurant.

Taste Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit established simply to feed people one community at a time. One of every six Americans faces the reality that they may not be able to provide for their next meal. There are programs in place that help; however, in Tarrant County, 36 percent of this food insecure population live above the poverty level and receive no government help.

Taste Project’s mission is to feed, educate, and serve our community so they may “…taste and see the Lord is good.”  Psalm 34:8. They believe everyone should have access to healthy nutritional food.  Our vision is to see our community become the solution to the challenges our community faces as it relates to hunger.

Their first project, a non-profit restaurant, focuses on healthy, quality meals made from fresh ingredients. The menu has no prices. This is a give and take concept. We ask guests to do one of the following:

1) pay what you can afford,

2) pay what you would typically pay, or

3) pay what you would typically pay, plus a little extra.

Why We Do It

Jeff Williams has always had a burden for feeding people.  Jeff grew up in a family of four, and both his parents worked hard to put food on the table.  He remembers the times when food was scarce and his parents would skip meals to make sure he and his sister were full.

Jeff understands first-hand the stress his parents encountered to put food on the table in tough times.  And it’s a familiar story of many of our neighbors in need.  Soup kitchens are good, but not everyone feels good about going there.

That’s why, in 2012, Jeff founded Taste Project, a sustainable solution to ensure none of our neighbors go hungry.  But Jeff also wanted a place that eliminated the stress and fear his parents faced.  A friendly place that feels like you’ve just come home.  And a place where you can get more than just a meal, but also hope.

Deep Dive: Tricklebee Cafe

Join us as we learn the ins and outs of our host cafe: Tricklebee Cafe.

Tricklebee Café is a pay-what-you-can community café that offers healthy meals, food-service training, and spiritual nourishment. It is a ministry of the Moravian Church in America.

Tricklebee offers a space to foster community, connections, goodwill, and a love for real food with simple ingredients. By offering an inclusive and welcoming space, the organization hopes to bring health, positivity, and peace to their neighborhood.

By providing fresh, healthy, locally-grown food to anyone regardless of ability to pay, Tricklebee addresses food insecurity by feeding the immediate need of hunger, while providing resources to educate and inspire people to make a habit of healthy eating. Access to healthy food helps people to better care for themselves and their neighbors, which heals and strengthens community.

Tricklebee Cafe seeks to be a peaceful gathering place in a neighborhood that has experienced violence and neglect. It is a safe, inviting place for neighbors to gather to promote reconciliation and peace. The organization works to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against the economically and socially marginalized by creating a space where individuals from all backgrounds may gather around the concept of a community table.

Asset Based Community Development
Jun
15
9:00 AM09:00

Asset Based Community Development

“Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strategy for sustainable community driven development. Beyond the mobilization of a particular community, ABCD is concerned with how to link micro-assets to the macro-environment. The appeal of ABCD lies in its premise that communities can drive the development process themselves by identifying and mobilizing existing, but often unrecognized assets, and thereby responding to and creating local economic opportunity.” (Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation)

Join One World Everybody Eats Board Member, Jennifer Earle, as she walks us through the ABCDs of building community in this hands-on lecture style session.
