Everyone falls on hard times and needs a helping hand sometimes. Other times those who once needed a helping hand get back on their feet and are ready to help others. Community spirit and ensuring everyone enjoys a nutritious and delicious meal is the goal of KNEAD Community Café near Pittsburgh, a definite must-visit whether you’re hungry for a scrumptious meal or you’re on the lookout for a new volunteering opportunity.
KNEAD Community Café, in New Kensington, is unlike most restaurants that set prices on a menu, and you only eat if you can pay. At this quaint café, you can eat even if you can’t pay.
Because its goal is to ensure everyone who is hungry can dig into a nutritious meal while being treated with respect regardless of ability to pay, KNEAD Community Café stands apart from other eateries.
Guests can choose from several payment options in exchange for a meal, which is generally locally sourced and features fresh ingredients. If you have the funds, you can pay the suggested donation.
If you have a bit more cash in your pocket, you can also pay it forward. The pay it forward option allows you to pay a little – or a lot – more than the suggested donation, which helps keep the café running.
Those guests with only a few dollars can “pay what you can,” and if you don’t have the funds, just volunteer an hour of your time in exchange for a meal.
KNEAD Community Café boasts a delicious menu, which changes seasonally, of healthy and hearty dishes. During the summer, choose from such main dishes as grilled steak tacos and salmon cake.
The menu’s also brimming with salads, several soups, flatbreads, and sandwiches. If you’re craving a filling sandwich, try the build your own grilled cheese or the Lodge 881 burger.
