MEET DREXELL & HONEYBEE'S:

We are a Donations-Only Restaurant!

That means when a guest comes into our doors they won't run into any cash registers, menu prices, or even suggested menu-prices. Guests will simply recieve a meal, a drink, and some dessert without us expecting anything in return. If they are able to or would like to they can leave a small donation in a private, donation box, but it is not necessary.

We operate entirely on donations!

It's our unique twist on "Feeding the Need." Guest not only recieve a meal, but they get to experience a meal in a restaurant enviornment where they are restored a sense of community & dignity!

So why are we asking you to donate a cup of coffee?

Because a conversation about coffee brought this idea to life.

One day when we were on our usual routes, delivering meals to Senior Citizens, a lady and I got to talking about our weekend plans! I shared with her that I was going to meet my friends at a coffee shop to catch up with each other on the week's happenings. It was a weekly appointment we had with each other.

Upon hearing this, I noticed her countenance change and quickly asked her why. She simply said, "I wish I could do that, go to a cafe or restaurant with my friends or family."

And that's when it hit me! So many people cannot afford this simple luxury. They are struggling to make ends meet and a simple trip to a restaurant or even a cafe is simply impossible. That's when I decided that I wanted to change the way I feed the hungry.

I wanted to open a Donations-Only Restaurant and now people within my community are being taken care of while also receiving a sense of community and dignity. Things they often don't get to enjoy.

However, this is no longer just my restaurant or my thing, it's OURS!!

Over the last 5 years, so many of you have made what we do possible! By donating, sharing our posts, and buying a T-shirt or two, you have ensured that our doors stay open and we couldn't be more grateful.

SO, this Giving Tuesday we're not asking for much!

We're simply asking you to donate one coffee, $5, to feed someone else. That's all it takes $5 to give a meal!

If 2,600 people sacrifice one cup of coffee, we can reach our goal and feed over 2,000 people; giving them not only a meal, but a meal in a restaurant!!

Giving never got easier! We thank you in advance!!
