WHAT IS PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN?
Not everyone experiences financial stability in this life. We feel money should not be the deciding factor in availability of healthy delicious food. We choose to invest in you and your wellness. We hope you will too! Pay-What-You-Can allows people to support the ashram according to their ability and intention, with no questions asked and with no judgments. We suggest a minimum of $10 donation per meal, but it is completely up to you.
WHO DO WE SERVE?
We understand that our society is only as healthy as we are. The pay-what-you-can cafe' is open to everyone. We serve all people, no matter their cultural-socio-gender-economic status. Through the kindness-based preparation and service of whole, real and healthy food, we are feeding, nourishing and integrating ourselves & others. Together, we are becoming healthy people manifesting a healthier society.

THE MISSION
Good clean healthy food is the key to wellness. If people don't have healthy food available (as well as clean air and water) life becomes burdened with issues ranging from malnutrition to stress and fear. Illnesses, like diabetes and heart disease, become prominent in society in part due to consumption of foods with little nutritional value, too much sugar, and pesticide residues.
Additionally, there is a growing number of unnecessary allergies brought about by too heavily depending on too few low value food sources. If we look at the low quality of foods being pushed through our system it becomes obvious that greater access to better choices is needed. At the Food4All Cafe we are honored to be supporting the availability of better choices.

"Food when consumed, becomes threefold. The gross particles become excrement, the middling ones flesh, and the fine ones the mind. My child, when curd is churned, its fine particles rise upwards and form butter. Thus, when food is consumed, the fine (bioavailable) particles rise upwards and form the mind. Hence, verily, the mind is food."
~ Swami Sivananda
"As the great Swami Sivananda taught, the mind is manufactured from of the quality of the food we take in, so here at the ashram we serve only pure whole food made with love and compassion and not collected through acts of violence. May your minds be at ease and your hearts rest in the wisdom of unity. May your bellies be happy with wonderful nourishment."
