题目:
Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat(SAME) in downtown Denver ,t
he spirit of generosity is instantly noticeable: donation box stands in place of
a cash register customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Café has done one unchangeable thing i
n the MileHigh City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant allows p
oor local customers who cannot pay to work as volunteers instead. They can act as
waitersandwaitresses,anddishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment
for the cafe.It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right”, says co-owne
r Brad Birky, who started the caféin 2006. Previously volunteering at soup kitc
hens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served t
here. “We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where every-one felt co
mfortable,regardless of their circumstances,” Birky says. SAME’s special lunc
h menu changs daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farm
ers. The café now averages 65 to 70 customers (and eight volunteers) a day. And
the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early
2007,one volunteer who hadcleared snow for his meals during the long winter sai
d goodbye to the Birkys.He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hu
rricane clearing up,” says Birky.
