Fridays,
the table
is full.

Every Friday afternoon, the Community Market opens for the young adults Razing the Bar serves: fresh groceries to take home, and a place to see the people who stay.

What happens on Fridays

More than
groceries.

Take home what you need.

Groceries donated by Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, to take home for the week.

See your people.

People who stay

Someone who’s
been there.

Razing the Bar is for us, by us, with us. “By us” means people with lived experience of homelessness, working alongside the young adults we serve.

Friday is a chance to catch up with the Razing the Bar team, ask a question, and talk through the week ahead, with groceries in hand.

Why food is part of the work

A home needs
a full kitchen.

Food is one of the supportive services Razing the Bar provides alongside housing, mentoring, life skills, education, employment, transportation, and outreach. HUD lists food among the eligible supportive services for Continuum of Care programs (24 CFR 578.53(e)).
