Our Mission
Faith Café is a partnership of faith communities who, in love and justice, are dedicated to serving our neighbors in Washington County who are hungry for food and community. We accomplish this by offering a free meal shared as a family and advocating for long-term social changes that reduce hunger and poverty.
Who We Are
Faith Café was started by a coalition of Beaverton-area churches, whose members are actively involved in the long-term planning and weekly operations of Faith Cafe.
Each Sunday evening, a meal is prepared and served by a volunteer team from one of these participating churches.
Faith Café is an independent non-profit, volunteer-based organization with a Board of Directors. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN number 20-2493113.
