Healthy World Cafe will open Nov. 20 AND First Friday!

Take a break from your day and head down to Healthy World Cafe for lunch Wednesday, Nov. 20. We'll be open from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. serving up healthy, locally sourced eats at First Moravian Church, 41 N. Duke St., York.

Please note this is the THIRD Wednesday this month, to accommodate for Thanksgiving week.

Here's a look at our menu:
-- Cabbage and white bean soup
-- Pumpkin soup
-- Sausage, mushroom and apple quiche
-- Winter greens and squash quinoa salad with roasted pumpkin seeds
-- Gingerbread pudding 
-- Baked apples in caramelized cider sauce 
-- Chicken salad 
-- Winter salad bar, with including barley, chickpeas, parsley, radishes, carrots, feta, nuts/seeds and more!

Of course, our menu is always based on what's available from our farmer friends, so stay tuned for updates!
At Healthy World Cafe, we always feature our "eat what you want, pay how you can" philosophy. The ability to pay should never be a barrier to accessing delicious, unprocessed, healthy food.
Can't make it for our Wednesday lunch? Look for us at Heidelberg UCC for First Friday in December! We'll be serving up hot, homemade soup from 6 to 10 p.m. at the church, located right across from Central Market on West Philadelphia St. Come in for Heidelberg's open mike set and stick around for a cup of locally sourced soup.
Because of the holidays, we will NOT be open for lunch in December.

Housekeeping items worth noting:
-- PARKING: When coming to the cafe for our Wednesday lunches, please DO NOT park in the private lots surrounding 1st Moravian Church.  You may park on the street (metered), or you may park at First Presbyterian Church at E. Market and N. Queen Sts., and walk one block west down Clarke Ave. to First Moravian (enter on north side).

-- TAKE OUT: Take out orders for lunch are available by e-mailing your selections (by 10 a.m. Nov. 20) to healthyworldcafe(at)gmail(dot)com.

-- VOLUNTEERING: Don't forget our switch to volunteer shifts for Wednesday's lunches: In order to better respect our volunteers' time, we'll be splitting the Wednesday lunch into two volunteer shifts: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and noon to 3 p.m. Feel free, of course, to sign up for both shifts, if you wish.

If you can't volunteer for an exact shift, hey, we understand that, too! We love that you're still eager to help out when you can. We would just ask that, after signing up through VolunteerSpot, that you'd send a quick email to sarah.e.chain(at)gmail(dot)com and let us know when to expect you. That makes it easier for us to plan out volunteer duties.
