Essentials Cafe

Our Mission

We aspire to reduce food insecurity in the Lehigh Valley and to provide a place where friendships and understanding can flourish across all socio-economic groups. 

 

We strive to create a place of equality where everyone, with different gifts, abilities, and resources, has the opportunity to eat, find welcome, and contribute as volunteers.

 

Patrons at the Café donate what they can to eat food together in a warm and hospitable environment. Volunteers work together to grow, cook, and serve food in warm and welcoming ways
