I first came across the concept of pay-what-you-can cafes last summer in Boone, N.C., where I ate at F.A.R.M (Feed All regardless of Means) Café. You can volunteer to earn your meal, pay the suggested price($10) or less, or you can overpay—paying it forward for a future customer’s meal. My only regret after eating there was not having a chance to give my time. So as soon as Healthy World Café opened in York in April, I signed up for a volunteer shift(轮班).
F.A.R.M and Healthy World are part of a growing trend of community cafés. In 2003, Denise Cerreta opened the first in Salt Lake City. Cerreta now runs the One World Everybody Eats Foundation, helping others copy her pay-what-you can model.
“I think the community café is truly a hand up, not a handout,” Cerreta said. She acknowledged that soup kitchens(施粥所) have a place in society, but people typically don’t feel good about going there.[来源:Z*xx*k.Com]
“One of the values of the community café is that we have another approach,” she said. “Everyone eats here, no one needs to know whether you volunteered, overpaid or underpaid.”
The successful cafés not only address hunger and food insecurity but also become necessary parts of their neighborhood – whether it’s a place to learn skills or hear live music. Some teach cooking to seniors; some offer free used books. Eating or working there is a reminder that we are all in this world together.
My 10 am---1pm shift at World-Healthy-Café began with the café manager – one of the two paid staff members. Our volunteer crew wasn’t the most orderly, but we managed to prepare and serve meals with a lot of laughs in between. At the end of my shift, I ordered my earned meal at the counter, together with other volunteers. After lunch, I walked out the door, with a handful of new friends, music in my head and a satisfied belly and heart.
去年夏天,我在北卡罗来纳州布恩的F.A.R.M(Feed All Anything Means)咖啡馆用餐时,第一次接触到了按需付费咖啡馆的概念。你可以自愿赚取餐费,支付建议的价格(10美元)或更低,也可以多付——为未来顾客的餐费预付。在那里吃饭后,我唯一的遗憾就是没有机会抽出时间。因此,四月份健康世界咖啡馆在纽约开业后,我就报名参加了一个志愿者轮班(轮班).
F.A.R.M和Healthy World是社区咖啡馆发展趋势的一部分。2003年,Denise Cerreta在盐湖城开设了第一家分店。Cerreta现在经营着“同一个世界,每个人都吃”基金会,帮助其他人模仿她,按照你能模仿的方式付费。
Cerreta说:“我认为社区咖啡馆真的是一种施舍,而不是施舍。”。她承认救济厨房(施粥所) 在社会上有一席之地,但人们通常对去那里感觉不好。[来源:Z*xx*k。Com]
“社区咖啡馆的价值之一是我们有另一种方法,”她说。“每个人都在这里吃饭,没有人需要知道你是自愿的,还是报酬过高或过低。”
成功的咖啡馆不仅解决了饥饿和粮食不安全问题,而且成为了他们社区的必要组成部分——无论是学习技能还是听现场音乐。有些人教高年级学生烹饪;有些提供免费的旧书。在那里吃饭或工作提醒我们,我们都在这个世界上。
我在世界健康咖啡馆上午10点到下午1点的轮班是从咖啡馆经理开始的,他是两名带薪员工之一。我们的志愿者团队不是最有秩序的,但我们设法准备和提供了饭菜,其间充满了笑声。下班后,我和其他志愿者一起在柜台点了我应得的饭菜。午饭后,我走出家门,有几个新朋友,脑子里有音乐,肚子和心都很满意。
