This nonprofit cafe was founded by two former food-bank
workers, who wanted to provide healthy, by-donation lunches for those who were strug-
gling to make ends meet. The standard American cafeteria fare is delicious. Walk-in vo-
lunteers are welcome, though you can reserve a spot in advance online.
Volunteering here or dropping in for lunch is one of the most unique and heart-warming
experiences in Denver, and demonstrates the most progressive thinking in the city's sus-
tainable, local, community-oriented food movement.
