Cups Café
Share Hope
At Cups Café, every act of generosity becomes a lifeline. When you share hope—through financial gifts, donated meals, or essential supplies—you help us create a warm, welcoming place where everyone is fed, supported, and cared for. Your contributions make it possible for us to serve meals at no cost, offer resources to those in need, and maintain a safe space for youth and adults alike. However you choose to give, you become part of something bigger: a community grounded in compassion and grace.

Hot Meal Provision
Meals can be prepared by individuals, families, churches, restaurants, or caterers—all are welcome to contribute. We typically feed up to 100 guests each day, which usually requires about three large baking pans of food. Meals can be prepared off-site in any accessible kitchen, and we’re happy to provide the pans, if needed.
