On March 9th, right now in Bozeman, Montana, donations to Fork and Spoon are getting doubled. Until tomorrow, every dollar you give through the Human Resources Development Council's fundraiser will be matched by the Libby's Love Foundation, up to $10,000 total. This pay, what you can spot, is the state's first restaurant of its kind, serving meals to anyone who walks in. The motto keeps it simple.
Diners contribute whatever they can afford toward their meal. On average, folks give about 50 cents per plate, but preparing fresh food costs more. Drives like this one cover the gap and keep the doors open every weekday. For head chef Angelo Toffa, the work feels more rewarding than any traditional kitchen.
He says for some customers, this might be their only hot meal of the day, so the team focuses on quality and comfort using local ingredients. The menu rotates daily with homestyle dinners and desserts posted fresh on their website. Favorites include Friday cheeseburgers that draw families and kids, plus special hits like Beef Wellington on holidays or unexpected treats such as ribs. This push marks the group's 14th anniversary as part of their $10,000 in 10 days goal.
You can ship in online at the Fork and Spoon site, by phone, or in person. Double your impact while it lasts.
