One World Everybody Eats, and its network of independent nonprofit cafes, will participate in the fifth annual National Everybody Eats Week from August 20th – August 26th, 2023. National Everybody Eats Week is a nationally coordinated campaign to help individuals understand the power they have to build community, ensure a table for everybody, and end hunger.
This year we want to continue encouraging our nation to come together. Community Cafes have been building equitable communities for nearly 20 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our member cafes continued to meet the needs of the communities they serve; but now our challenge is also deeper than just food.
According to the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a 25% increase in anxiety and depression worldwide. The organization sites social isolation, reduced ability to work, limited support from loved ones, and a lack of engagement in community as stress factors contributing to the sharp increase.
One World Everybody Eats Community Cafes® are dedicated to increasing food security and building community through the pay-what-you-can nonprofit restaurant model. Every Community Café is as unique as the communities they serve; but all One World Everybody Eats member cafes believe in a community led dignified dining experience where everyone is welcome, and guests can choose what they want to eat from a selection of healthy nutritious options.
About a dozen cafes across the United States will participate in National Everybody Eats Week. But, regardless of your location, One World Everybody Eats challenges everybody to E.A.T. during National Everybody Eats Week, August 20th – 26th:
Dine at a community café or donate online to support the work we do.
Get involved with your local café, sign up to volunteer and become part of the solution.
Join the movement to ensure everybody eats starting with your community.
