The Community Cafe is a non-profit organization that’s been serving hot meals to the Faribault community since 2009. Every week, 250 to 300 people are served a warm meal, and the Cafe has become an important gathering place for the community. Whether people come to join their friends and neighbors for a meal and conversation, or to grab a meal to take home, the Community Cafe is an integral part of the Faribault community.
One of the unique features of the Community Cafe is that it’s run entirely by volunteers. Volunteers come from twelve different faith communities, and number well over 100. They work in three shifts every Tuesday, which includes meal preparation and serving, and clean-up.
The Community Cafe is a 501C3 non-profit organization. It’s run by a board of directors and has a president. The Cafe’s accepts tax-deductible donations and all financial gifts are used to purchase food for the community. The Cafe greatly welcomes and appreciates any financial gifts that are given.
The Community Cafe is a place where people come together, share stories, and build relationships. The Cafe is an important community hub; its impact can be seen in the smiling faces of the people who come to enjoy a meal.
In conclusion, the Community Cafe is an important part of the Faribault community. Its mission to provide a hot meal to those in need would not be possible without the dedication of its volunteers and the financial support of its donors.
