This month's Share the Plate Recipient:
Big, Big Table Community Café
By employing radical hospitality, intentional food sourcing, and an innovative participation-based model, EVERYONE is provided access to a true restaurant experience regardless of ability to pay with dollars. The cafe's mission is to provide a dignified response to the dual public health crises of food insecurity and social isolation by providing a place for affordable, scratch-made meals in a cozy neighborhood place in which to feel seen.
Distinct from a soup kitchen, Big Big Table and other One World Everybody Eats member-cafes are frequented by diners of all socioecomic backgrounds-- think of us as an eatery that just has uniquely flexible payment methods! At a traditional restaurant, a guest is asked to exchange a fixed amount of money for their meal. At Big Big Table, diners are invited to contribute money in an amount meaningful to them, volunteer time, or in-kind donations. Our pay-as-you-can model strives to promote a healthy, socially connected community that meets people where they're at.
