Positioned next a local artist + art gallery made up of some interesting Toledo people folk art if you will, it's situated quiet cozily like. The Cafe IS a non profit which has been well funded. Each oven is state of the art, and makes very nice pizzas. You get your choice of pizza, soup and salad for each visit. Beats, lentils, exotic greens, get crazy... It is set up for everyone to enjoy a meal, so you either have to pay something, volunteer half hour of time serving, or donate fresh produce to eat. As long as you don't get offended with certain street people disturbing the peace, and butchering the pronunciation of menu items, you cool.

Out here, L.A., there is an older priest who founded Homeboy Industries many years ago. They have a cafe and bakery. He works with former gang members... training them for jobs, helping some remove their tattoos so they can find work more easily. Another good story was on the news the other night. I think it was in Boston. A doctor has walked around the streets to treat the homeless for 30 years! He also founded a clinic so the homeless can get more treatment there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These outreaches + Christian servants have taught me allot how to receive people, and how treat others. How to trust. Been good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told to stand by the Ipad and wait. There was a sign that said, "volunteers wait here." I worked in this state of the art kitchen washing dishes today, me a homeless person in off the streets. I was asked to sort, soak, then scrub plates & dishes. Rinse them off, then place in the sanitizer steamer dishwasher. Following this, I pulled out the dishes and placed them on racks to dry. Great experience. Half an hour paid for my meal, I feel happy today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I peeled sweet potatoes and cut into small cubes for pizza, and oven baked for salads. I served with Nick, happy times. Told other homeless men about this program, IDK it's a good thing. Work half an hour learning a skill in a great environment. It's empowering!! Edited March 8, 2023 by Joshua_Entangled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
