It is no secret that the cost of living in Colorado is through the roof and that individuals and families around the state are struggling to make ends meet. That being said, when we hear about organizations and businesses going out of their way to help others, we want to give them the spotlight, which is why we are so excited to introduce you to the innovative and generous SAME Cafe:
Located in Denver, the SAME Cafe is Colorado's first-ever nonprofit restaurant and has served as a model for other like-minded restaurants around the country.
Opened in 2006, the SAME Cafe is "Creating Community Through Access to Healthy Food," which they do by allowing their patrons to pay what they can for a healthy and mostly organic meal.
As per the SAME Cafe, "If you can give more, please do. If you have a little less, pay what you can. If your pockets are empty, exchange an hour of volunteer work at SAME for one of the café’s mouth-watering meals."
What kind of delicious meals will you find at the SAME Cafe? While the variety constantly changes, you can expect to find made-from-scratch soup and salad, gourmet pizza, hot and cold drinks, and a special dessert.
