On Monday, Nov. 24, more than 20 Fresno State students will spend the first day of Thanksgiving Break preparing and serving meals for community members at Poverello House’s Papa Mike’s Café. This one-day service event was planned by Richter Center student leaders under the Jan and Bud Richter Center for Community Engagement and Service-Learning.
Papa Mike’s Café began in 2006 with a vision of providing three meals a day to anyone in the community. Since then, it has expanded beyond this with the help of donors and volunteers to evolve into a full-on restaurant experience complete with menus and servers.
For more information, contact Kayla Ferreira, special projects coordinator at the Richter Center, at kferreira@mail.fresnostate.edu or 559.278.2339.
