So All May Eat / SAME Café

So All May Eat (SAME) addresses food insecurity through an innovative participation-based model that includes SAME Cafés and Cook to Work job training. 

Guests at SAME Café bring their resources to the table -- time, money, or produce -- in exchange for meals. This model empowers individuals, eliminates the power imbalance inherent in traditional charity models, and creates a mutual-aid framework that benefits everyone involved. 

The Cook to Work program equips participants with essential job-readiness skills, promoting economic stability and opening doors to paid employment or further culinary training.
