Remnant Cafe serves the homeless and underserved community in Sarasota. Anyone who is homeless or in need is welcome to come.
Hot meals are served three times a day. The food is both store-bought and homemade, with the goal of serving what people would actually enjoy eating. Visitors can also pick up clothing and personal care items like toiletries. A clothes closet is available on-site.
Meals are served on-site throughout the day. A small bus picks up people from around the area and brings them to the cafe, so transportation is not a barrier.
Beyond meals, Remnant Cafe offers a range of free services for homeless visitors:
Remnant Cafe has a lounge area and a nap area where visitors can rest during the day. Showers and laundry facilities are also available on-site.
The cafe welcomes food donations, clothing donations (especially men's clothing in all sizes), and financial contributions. You can drop off food and clothing at the cafe. Various churches also donate time and food to support the meals program. Reach out to the cafe to find out how to give.
Remnant Cafe is run by volunteers and is always looking for more help. If you'd like to volunteer, get in touch with the cafe directly.
