Pay What You Can Cafe

“Pay What You Can” Cafe
Wed 9/25 5:30-7:30pm
Did you know there are 50+ restaurants/cafes around the country where anyone can eat a full meal regardless of the amount of money they have in their pocket? It’s a great way to help fight growing food insecurity and offer a place for community.

We believe that White Horse Black Mountain is a wonderful place to house the next one.

Nearby there are two successful examples, one in Boone and the other in Johnson City.

A fundamental rule about this non-profit business model is that it grow from the community….

….That’s where you come in. You are invited to our first information gathering and demonstration donate-what-you-can light dinner. Bring any friends you think might be interested.
