As we say goodbye to Drexel University’s EAT Café we commend the University for the work it has done in West Philadelphia.  Thousands of people ate, gave, and supported EAT Café and its community.   

Pay-what-you-can restaurants are not exempt from the same challenges of traditional restaurants.  According to the University of Ohio, 60% of traditional restaurants fail in the first year, and 80% of traditional restaurants fail in 5 years. 

Nonprofit restaurants have added restrictions on access to capital; pressure to immediately build community; and expectations to solve large social issues, while also operating a fully functional restaurant.  This is why nonprofit restaurants need extra support including grants, fundraising, and organizations like One World Everybody Eats.

Take Root Cafe provides healthy option for ...

Tracy Parks and her husband, opened Take Root Café in Kirksville, Missouri, in late 2016 as a pay-what-you-can spot serving healthy fare that is sourced locally as much as possible. Over the course of a year, Parks says, Take Root works with 12 local farmers, plus regional producers. 

"We wanted to have healthy food be accessible to everyone. Adair County is one of the poorest counties in Missouri; 1 in 4 or 5 are food insecure," she says. "[Usually] the cheapest foods possible are highly processed, high fat, high sugar. So we want to make sure people who are on a budget or can't afford food get access to healthy food here."
