Lunch People Plans to Launch Not-For-Profit Café in Eugene

Lunch People’s mission is to reduce hunger and strengthen the community by investing in food security and celebrating health. The café will serve a daily donation-based hot meal, feature an outdoor free community fridge and pantry, offer workshops and classes, and operate a job training program for youth.

The founders are raising funds to open a not-for-profit community café: a neighborhood eatery and resource hub which will encourage food producers, service industry professionals, aid groups and individuals to work together, engage in the community and address hunger. The founders plan to use the the not-for-profit café to provide consistent fundraising to support their mission through food, beverage, and merchandise sales, special event catering and space rental.
