Hello!!
Welcome to this page where I'm asking folks to help us do something rewarding, powerful, and so simple. Help us facilitate Mutual Aid through the Stone Soup Pay-What-You-Can Cafe',
I'll keep this short...
Stone Soup is one of the most successful and longest-running Pay-What-You-Can restaurants on the planet. It's right here in Western Mass—in Greenfield. Every Saturday, over 600 nutritious and delicious meals (including soup and dessert) are served regardless of a customer's ability to pay. Some customers can pay full price (about $15), and some can pay less. No one is ever turned away without a full meal.
We work with local farmers, food banks, gleaning and surplus organizations, and many incredible volunteers to provide warm, healthy meals regardless of anyone's ability to pay.
And we need your help. I'm asking you to Donate-Whatever-You-Can. If that's $25, that's great! But could you do more? Could you donate $200? $1,000? $10,000? Could you Donate-Forward for those who want to, but can't afford it right now?
I'm honored to be a newly appointed board member of the Stone Soup Cafe'. This is an organization I strongly believe in because I've seen the difference it makes in the world. If you've ever experienced food insecurity, being unhoused, or just having a tough time paying rent and putting food on the table during a tough time, you know what a relief it is knowing that a community like Stone Soup exists. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the organization (a 501c3).
Thank you so much for your consideration. Please reach out if you have any questions or just want to talk about what we do.
