We see food as a powerful means for connection. The community center and the café are a space where neighbors can come together. We know people will enjoy meals with those already in their network, but we aim to encourage interactions with unknown neighbors through intentional events and programming that spur conversation that will build understanding, trust, and respect among neighbors.

Because we are so invested in nourishing our community, when you dine with us, at least 50% of our profits go to improving food access and nutrition in Central Ohio.
