A small team, joined by an extremely enthusiastic crowd of volunteers, once a month prepares, cooks and serves meals to all the hungry mouths that come to enjoy the dinner. The dinner happens one Saturday a month and you can find more info at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/121769647855905/ To see what this all looks like, you can check this video here: http://www.rbb-online.de/himmelunderde/archiv/himmel_und_erde_vom2/dinner_fuer_viele.html How does this work: Each time a 3 course meal (first dish, second dish and a dessert) is served, together with a free drink. People who can afford the food may leave a donation. You can give whatever you feel your dinner is worth and you are willing to give. There's no minimum donation. This donation pays for your food and funds a meal of the homeless person. In other words, with your money you're feeding homeless (and yourself). The poor/homeless community is a very segregated community and their daily interactions revolve around their fellow peers and social workers. They very seldom have the chance to venture outside these circles, so having a venue where they can meet people of other social ranks and talk to them and tell them about their lives and interests and passions is of great value to them. Coming to this dinner you give them the possibility to shine, even if only for one evening a month. As far as drinks go, most places that serve food to homeless don't allow alcohol for obvious reasons. This is why your free drink will be a soda or a juice (or mineral water). Please don't bring your own drinks, especially not alcohol. The drinks are sponsored by Cafe Hilde who donate most of the drinks at the event. Their help and support is invaluable so while you're at it check their website and even better, their great cafè: www.hilde-berlin.com The event is a non smoking event, but you may smoke outside the venue.
