Enjoy Sunday Brunch at Café 458 and Support Feeding Atlanta’s Homeless

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 07, 2009 – Atlanta, GA – May 29, 2009 – Start a new Sunday morning tradition…brunch at Café 458! Located in the Historic Sweet Auburn District, Café 458 offers gourmet meals created by Atlanta’s favorite chefs. At the invitation of his fellow CIA Alums, this Sunday celebrated Chef Joe Truex of Repast Restaurant will be transforming the kitchen with his signature flavors of Creole-influenced New American cuisine with a metropolitan flair.
While Cafe 458 is open to the general public for brunch and dinner, it also serves as the city’s only restaurant for homeless individuals during weekday mornings. The idea of opening a restaurant for the homeless originated with co-founders A.B. Short and Bob Freeman; their vision was to create a warm, caring environment that fostered a sense of dignity and respect among the men and women who ate there.
All proceeds from Café 458, including tips, go directly to support Samaritan House of Atlanta, a nonprofit agency whose mission is to help homeless men and women achieve self-sufficiency – It’s truly a delicious cause!
Cafe 458 is managed by Samaritan House of Atlanta, a nonprofit agency whose mission is to transform lives by helping homeless men and women achieve self-sufficiency through personalized employment readiness and life-stabilization programs. Annually, Samaritan House of Atlanta offers services to over 700 men and women through two core programs: Cafe 458, a life stabilization program and restaurant for disabled homeless men and women; and The EDGE (Earning Dignity...Gaining Employment), with employment readiness programs that support homeless individuals in their efforts to find full-time permanent employment. Samaritan House also manages the Clean Street Team, a transitional employment and training program which engages homeless men and women in various beautification, grounds maintenance and cleaning projects throughout the metro Atlanta area. For more information about Samaritan House of Atlanta and our programs, visit www.samhouse.org.
