TAMPA (CBSMiami/AP) — One million. That is how many free meals a Tampa cafe has provided to the homeless.
The Trinity Cafe food program has been in operation for 14 years on Nebraska Avenue in Tampa, offering free meals to the homeless and the working poor.
Manager Cindy Davis sees the milestone as a blessing. She says the cafe serves one meal per day. Breakfast on weekends and a hot lunch during the week.
The Tampa Bay Times reports crowds wait in the lobby to be called to one of a dozen round tables that seat six people each. The meals are served on real plates. The program was founded by Christ the King Catholic Church, but doesn't preach one religion.
Except for Davis and a chef, volunteers run the program.
