Healthy World Cafe will be open for lunch Wednesday, April 24!

If you missed us at Go Green in the City, never fear: Healthy World Cafe will be open for a delicious, locally sourced lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 24 at First Moravian Church, 39 N. Duke St., downtown York.


Our spring vegetable quiche returns for lunch April 24!
April's Menu:

-- Cardamom applesauce

-- Chicken, rice & spring greens soup

-- Pork, beef & bean chili

-- Oriental sandwich with Asian-inspired coleslaw

-- Tossed salad with Green Goddess dressing

-- Spring vegetable quiche

-- Dried fruit and oatmeal cookies

Of course, our offerings are always based on whatever is available from our farmer friends, so also 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.  Take out orders are available by e-mailing your selections (by 10 a.m. April 24) to healthyworldcafe(at)gmail(dot)com.

Interested in volunteering for food prep or serving? Sign up through VolunteerSpot for our April lunch or other upcoming events.

And 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.

Check out a calendar of other upcoming events as well, including our May lunch.

Catch Healthy World Cafe at Go Green in the City

Folks loved our menu of soup, salad, quiche and more at last year's event!
Warmer temperatures have Healthy World Cafe thinking spring -- and, of course, all the wonderful, local produce that comes along with the change in seasons!
