Fork & Spoon Homestyle Kitchen, formerly known as the Community Café, is inviting area businesses to treat friends and neighbors to dinner by Picking Up the Tab.

At Fork & Spoon, we believe that sharing a good meal with others makes everyone’s day better. We want to make it easy for businesses to share that feeling, which is why we have launched our Pick Up the Tab fundraising campaign. The idea is simple: a business, service club, church, family or friends can commit to picking up the dinner tab for one night or one week each month. Cost is $500 for one night or $3,000 for one week. That pays for meals for 100 people per night. In return, participants benefit from knowing they have helped feed hungry children, families and individuals in our community. They also receive shoutouts on Fork & Spoon social media channels, website, restaurant table tents and more. We’ve chosen a superhero theme for this campaign to emphasize that being a local superhero is as easy as buying dinner for a friend or neighbor in need.

Fork & Spoon strives to become a self-sustainable and profitable restaurant. Then, our profits will be put back into the community to provide help through a broader range of services.

As Montana’s only pay-what-you can social enterprise restaurant, Fork & Spoon makes it possible for everyone in our community to receive a fresh, healthy dinner at a price they can afford. While a price is suggested for each night’s dinner, guests can choose to pay less, more or nothing at all. Because of this structure, Fork & Spoon depends on community support to be able to provide dinner for our friends and neighbors in need. Members of the community can support Fork & Spoon by coming in to eat dinner or being a part of Pick Up the Tab.

Fork & Spoon serves dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Friday. The kitchen is led by Chef Rick Hilles who sources local ingredients whenever possible for his from-scratch recipes. Fork & Spoon, a program of the HRDC, is located at 302 N. 7th Ave. in Bozeman. For more information on Pick Up the Tab, please contact Fork & Spoon General Manager Chelsea Eddy at 406-587-4225.
