Our story starts in 2010, when our founders saw the issue of food insecurity in our Englewood neighborhood.
They opened CAFE 180 with the mission of feeding everyone. Those who can pay, pay. Those who can’t pay give of their time in exchange for lunch, which on an average week amounts to 30-40 percent of our customers. Since we started, we’ve served more than 100,000 meals in this dignified exchange.
