Most of Trinity Cafe’s guests are homeless and jobless. But the working poor are fast becoming a growing segment of the population who are finding themselves at our door – often running out of money by the end of the month to feed themselves and their families. Women, children, the elderly, and physically and mentally challenged individuals comprise many of the multitudes we serve. Their stomachs are empty, and they are eager to receive a nourishing meal – for many the only food they will eat all day.
According to the U.S. Census, Poverty in the United States Study, the number of Americans who are food insecure or hungry or at risk of hunger is growing to new levels. Over 10% of households in Hillsborough County have been determined to be “Food Insecure” by Second Harvest, the largest food bank in the US. Trinity Cafe aims to help the hungry men, women and children in the Tampa community.
Each weekday, Trinity Cafe addresses the nutritional needs of the hungry and homeless of Tampa Bay by serving a well-balanced, restaurant quality meal. It is served with unconditional respect and a sense of dignity. The nutrition is critical to the well-being of the 200 daily guests representing tens of thousands of the homeless, the hungry and those facing “Food Insecurity” in our community. |
