Why Now?

The Challenge

Hunger and food insecurity exist in every city and town across the globe, painfully touching countless lives daily. The statistics are alarming, revealing how many individuals and families struggle to meet this most basic human need.

The Grace Cafe model provides a proven solution, offering dignity, compassion, and nourishment. By adopting this approach, each city has the opportunity to care for its neighbors in need, transforming communities with hope, hospitality, and love shared around the table.

One Meal at a time. One City at a time. One Life at a time.

Why Rome?

This flagship location, scheduled to open December 2026, will not only care for Rome’s vulnerable populations but also inspire thousands visiting the Vatican from around the world to bring this model to their own cities.

Grace Cafe Rome will provide:
  • A symbolic and strategic location at the heart of the Catholic Church
  • An inspiring example of love in action that pilgrims and Vatican visitors can carry home
  • An opportunity to influence global faith-driven service through a proven, replicable model
  • Immediate local impact and long-term international reach
