SUMMARY:Everybody Eats Week at Groundswell Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the week of August 25-30\, we’ll be raising money for our Pay-It-Forward Fund\, which helps cover meals for those who may not be able to pay the full amount. This fund is at the heart of our mission—it’s how we ensure that everyone who walks through our doors can sit down to enjoy a nourishing meal with dignity. \nWhen you dine at Groundswell during Everybody Eats Week\, you’ll not only enjoy fresh\, delicious food—you’ll also be part of something bigger. Each meal purchased\, each tip or donation given\, and each story shared adds to a ripple of kindness that feeds both body and soul. Special dish this week: Bananas Foster French Toast – $2 from the sale of each special will go to our pay-it-forward fund. \nLast year during this week\, Groundswell raised important funds that directly supported neighbors in need. This year\, we’re hoping to raise at $1500 towards our Pay-It-Forward Fund. \nCome join us\, invite a friend\, and spread the word. Because when everybody eats\, everybody wins. \n👉 Visit us at Groundswell Cafe during Everybody Eats Week or donate here and help make a difference!
