“Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strategy for sustainable community driven development. Beyond the mobilization of a particular community, ABCD is concerned with how to link micro-assets to the macro-environment. The appeal of ABCD lies in its premise that communities can drive the development process themselves by identifying and mobilizing existing, but often unrecognized assets, and thereby responding to and creating local economic opportunity.” (Collaborative for Neighborhood Transformation)
Join One World Everybody Eats Board Member, Jennifer Earle, as she walks us through the ABCDs of building community in this hands-on lecture style session.

Join us as we learn the ins and outs of our host cafe: Tricklebee Cafe.
Tricklebee Café is a pay-what-you-can community café that offers healthy meals, food-service training, and spiritual nourishment. It is a ministry of the Moravian Church in America.
Tricklebee offers a space to foster community, connections, goodwill, and a love for real food with simple ingredients. By offering an inclusive and welcoming space, the organization hopes to bring health, positivity, and peace to their neighborhood.
By providing fresh, healthy, locally-grown food to anyone regardless of ability to pay, Tricklebee addresses food insecurity by feeding the immediate need of hunger, while providing resources to educate and inspire people to make a habit of healthy eating. Access to healthy food helps people to better care for themselves and their neighbors, which heals and strengthens community.
Tricklebee Cafe seeks to be a peaceful gathering place in a neighborhood that has experienced violence and neglect. It is a safe, inviting place for neighbors to gather to promote reconciliation and peace. The organization works to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against the economically and socially marginalized by creating a space where individuals from all backgrounds may gather around the concept of a community table.

Have you ever had an idea grab hold of you that you just couldn’t shake?
Brad and his wife had one of those ideas fall out of the sky and into their laps. Based on their volunteer experiences of serving in soup kitchens and shelters, their idea was to open a different type of restaurant. One with no prices, serving organic and locally sourced foods, so that anyone who walked through the door would be able to afford a good meal. In 2006 they risked it all and took the leap to open the doors of SAME Café.
When the idea came to them, they hoped they might be able to feed a few people. They never envisioned how much taking that leap would feed their souls and enrich their lives.
Brad Birky is a social entrepreneur who is currently calling Florida his home because it is the warmest year-round place he could find; also there are dolphins. Brad and his wife Libby co-founded SAME Café and now consult with non-profits around the country on best practices. He is an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast who is a voracious reader and researcher. He loves to cook for his wife and take his dogs, Leo and Gemini on long walks.

For more than a decade, food insecurity rates among college students at all kinds of institutions have been higher than that of the general population of the United States. In her research, Dr. Lori Borcher’s looks at how a One World Everybody Eats Community Cafe affects food insecurity and a sense of community in college students.

Currently, she teaches undergraduate nursing students while also working on her PhD in Educational Leadership at TCU. Her area of interest is the One World Everybody Eats community model and how it can be used to help decrease food insecurity on college campuses.
Most recently, Lori created and taught an online class which focused on food insecurity and building a business plan for a pay-what-you-can café in the student’s own chosen geographical area.
Dr. Lori Borchers sits on the One World Everybody Eats Board of Directors. In her spare time, she enjoys volunteering at the Taste Community Restaurant in Fort Worth with her husband and children.

The Store operates as a year-round free grocery store allowing people to shop for their basic needs. There is no charge to those referred or to the people and agencies that send them. They may shop for food to supplement their income during times of crisis and as they work toward self-sufficiency.
A philosophy of community empowerment means we aim to solve hunger issues in our community by developing programs to meet the needs of the community, including partnering with other organizations on issues of food security. We believe in cooperation and collaboration between organizations to better serve the community.
