6. Here in Lawrence, KS, we have a similar "restaurant" (in a church) to serve breakfast to

those in need--called Jubilee Cafe. People have to volunteer in advance to have a chance to serve at the cafe:

JUBILEE CAFE COMMUNITY BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Jubilee Cafe provides breakfast for in-need community members in a restaurant-style environment. The program runs from 5:30AM to approximately 8:15AM Tuesday and Friday mornings at the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont Street.

Jubilee Cafe is a popular volunteer activity and often operates at volunteer capacity during the academic year. In order to assure positive volunteer experiences and efficiently serve breakfast, Jubilee requires groups to reserve a date to volunteer. Open shifts can be found at volunteer.ku.edu. Individuals can register by clicking the “Respond” button for the shift they want. Groups can also register as a team. Reservations are made on a first come, first serve basis, and all individuals who volunteer must be registered on volunteer.ku.edu. If a shift is full, volunteers will need to make arrangements for a different day.
