From March 1 to March 10, every dollar donated to the Human Resource Development Council’s 10K in 10 Days fundraiser, supporting Fork & Spoon, will be matched up to $10,000 by Sharing Livi’s Love Foundation. The community is encouraged to donate to maximize the match in support of a Bozeman food resource.
Fork & Spoon is a pay-what-you-can restaurant, offering hot meals to an average of 120 guests every night in Bozeman, including families, veterans, elderly community members and individuals with disabilities, according to an HRDC press release. Guests pay an average of just $0.50 per meal, and food costs alone are $2 per plate.
“Every meal we serve reflects the power of community,” Jill Holder, HRDC’s food and nutrition director, stated in the release. “This fundraiser is a testament to the generosity that keeps Fork & Spoon’s doors open because at the end of the day, good food does good.”
HRDC opened the restaurant, formerly known as the Community Café, in 2012, making it the first and only pay-what-you-can restaurant in Montana. HDRC calls it a “welcoming, dignified dining experience.”
