Our Purpose (Mission) 

All Together at the Table: A Welcoming Space for Connection, Community, and Good Food

What We Do

541 Eatery and Exchange is a pay-it-forward cafe working to help our neighbours overcome the impacts of isolation, poverty, and injustice by cultivating a community of mutuality in our neighbourhood. Inspired by our Christian values, we are dedicated to welcoming all our neighbours inclusive of their circumstances, identity, and status.

Our Core Values

1. Hospitality (Extending Welcome): We welcome individuals to sit at the table as they are. We cooperate and collaborate with community partners, encouraging and working with them to use the space generously.
2. Community (Sharing Life at the Table): We nurture, celebrate, and care for the physical, spiritual, and relational experiences of our guests.
3. Belonging (Knowing Your Name): We value and take interest in our guests as unique individuals with meaningful stories. We want to know the _names of our guests and to encourage each person as desired in their personal hopes and challenges.
4. Advocacy (Speaking Out With and For Each Other): We support our team and our neighbours in their efforts to bring greater joy, hope, and justice to our world.
