The FoCo Cafe is a non-profit restaurant just north of Old Town Fort Collins providing delicious meals to all comers on a pay-as-you-can basis. Some people donate more than the cost of the meal, paying it forward so meals can be provided to those who cannot afford it. There are also ways to help people experiencing homelessness with donations of perishable and non-perishable foods, and clothing. Executive Director Dexter Beasley tells Rabbi Hillel about all the ways we can help the FoCo Cafe help the Fort Collins Community.
