Hard Times Cafe — An Empowerment Model

About the Speaker
The Hard Times Cafe was piloted through the Food Pantry in August of 1995. The Cafe is a grass-roots empowerment organization which provides Downtown residents with a forum to take more control over their lives and their neighborhood. The HTC holds a dinner and meeting every Wednesday from 5:30-7:15pm every Wednesday in the church dining room. Different community organizations volunteer each week to serve and clean up the meal to our neighbors. This meal is an important service to the community because, for many of the diners, this is the only meal they eat each week where they are served family style instead of standing in a line at the missions and soup kitchens.
