CAFÉ 131 AT GRACE

B997BFEE-649D-4A0C-A81F-F9543E19696D.jpg

EVERYONE DESERVES
A WARM MEAL

Gainesville resident and homeless advocate Pat Fitzpatrick was a long-time opponent of Gainesville's policy of limiting soup kitchens to serving only 130 meals per day. He became famous around town for telling commissioners exactly how he felt about the ordinance.  The dining hall at GRACE Marketplace pays tribute to Pat and how he helped erase the 130-meal limit from Gainesville's books. The aptly named Café 131 now serves about 400 meals per day, never turning anyone away hungry. The facility boasts a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen designed by local chef Bert Gill.
