We can have a team of up to 12 interns: 6 guys and 6 gals. As people graduate or move on, these positions become available. The interns work 20 hours in the Cafe and/or the church and attend the weekly church service in exchange for FREE housing. The guys live in Louttit Hall/Grace Café on the second floor while the gals live in the Norma Tomberlin House on College Avenue. Both are an easy walk to campus. We also employ a director of college ministry who facilitates the entire internship program with the oversight of the priest.
At Grace Café we understand that food is not always accessible or affordable. We always have non-perishable food available for students. Our food pantry is fully stocked with shelf-stable items and some hygiene products for students to take what they need.
Free, family-style dinners for college students are hosted twice a month. The menu varies, so come share a meal with us!
We run holiday-themed events, art and crafting nights, football watch parties, game nights, cookouts, and movie nights. We are always looking to expand our offerings.
