It is a central commitment to our vision and mission that our work is positive. Because of this, you will never see a SAME Café use a "let us save you" narrative in anything. We are not here to exploit hungry and poor community members in an effort to gain funding as that is antithetical to our values and is othering. From our grant proposals to our social media posts, SAME is a positive organization doing everything it can to uplift and empower our communities.
