Cafes, like Soul Kitchen, incorporate a strong volunteer component from within the local community, without whom we would not be able to accomplish our mission. Attendees of the Summit did a field visit to Soul Kitchen and heard from management and staff about the model of empowerment, inspiration, and \u201ccommunity\u201d we hold so important.<\/p>\n
It was inspiring to us at Soul Kitchen to hear the many stories of why so many others decided to start community kitchens \/ cafes and how they promote the social goals we all epitomize.<\/p>\n
Many shared stories, photos, suggestions and conversations later \u2013 we are re-energized to continue to reach out to our community to ensure that those who are experiencing food-insecurity issues know where to turn to experience a sense of community and a healthy meal – \u2013 one Soul at a time!!<\/p>\n
