About this organization
Mission
To alleviate hunger and promote health by offering nourishing, high quality, local food on a pay-what-you-can basis
About
Take Root Cafe is a pay-what-you-can community cafe. We serve fresh local and organic foods to everyone, regardless of their income. People can donate what they have for a meal or volunteer in exchange for a meal. We are changing the way people eat and interact with their food. Take Root is one of over 60 other cafes in the U.S. dedicated to ending hunger in our nation. This is based on the established community cafe model developed by the One World Everybody Eats Foundation (OWEE). We value people - we believe everyone, regardless of means, should have access to fresh and nutritious food. We value the planet - we want to steward the earth by supporting small local farms and using sustainable practices. We value community - we believe that by treating people and our planet with dignity and respect, we can create a more vibrant, thriving, and economically strong community through the medium of sustainable and local food.
