ABOUT SOUTH END CHILDREN'S CAFE
At the heart of community and compassion, the South End Children's Café stands as a beacon of hope for children and families in Albany. Entirely fueled by the generosity of the community, the Café sources its food through donations. The Café goes beyond providing meals; it imparts a sense of responsibility and ownership to the enrolled children. The children actively participate in serving food, fostering a community where no child should worry about their next meal or face health challenges due to inadequate nutrition.
The South End Children's Café, a community project since 2015, has evolved to meet the needs of the times. Since the onset of COVID-19, the café has adapted its services, expanding from serving 60 children to more than 500. Their impact goes beyond nourishing the body; it nurtures the spirit and builds community through the simple yet powerful act of breaking bread.
