DENVER (KDVR) — As federal food assistance programs face a temporary pause, leaders at the Same Cafe in Denver say they are prepared to feed anyone who walks through its doors, regardless of their ability to pay.

Fisher has been coming to the cafe for a decade now. Same Cafe has been feeding anyone who walks through their doors for nearly 20 years, no questions asked.

Even a small contribution goes a long way toward keeping the cafe running…
