Welcome To The Cafe'

“Come you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to me.” Matthew 25:34-36

About The Cafe' Video

Marietta Bala, Board Chairwoman

Our Mission:

“The Café’s mission is more than meeting basic needs. Our goal is to enrich lives and provide empowerment. Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a better life. We want to empower the community’s poor to lift themselves out of poverty. Poverty is not just poverty of money. We see poverty of self-esteem, hope, opportunity, and freedom. People trapped in a cycle of despair often don’t realize their lives can be changed for the better through their own activities. Once they realize this, it is like a light gets turned on. We can help be the light to their world.”
